After a first half in which U.S. sales of the often supply constrained Honda Pilot fell 10%, Pilot volume over the last two months jumped 13%, year-over-year.
The Pilot was nevertheless roundly outsold by a handful of top-tier three-row crossovers: Chevrolet Traverse, Toyota Highlander, and America’s favourite three-row, the Ford Explorer.

The Explorer’s sharp decrease was by no means the only sudden July decline among mainstream three-row crossovers.
Nissan Pathfinder volume took a 30% dive as Nissan readies the launch of an updated 2017 model. The GMC Acadia is coming to the end of its Lambda platform run, as well, and sales slid 30% in July with the new Acadia set to take over in the coming weeks.

GCBC isn’t here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you’ll see the Outback and Venza here but also with midsize cars, too, and the pricey FJ Cruiser and Xterra with smaller utilities and the Volkswagen Touareg with luxury SUVs… because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
