American Honda’s overwhelmingly strong August produced a year-to-date lead for the Honda CR-V, not to mention a 7940-unit victory in August 2013 itself. Never before had Honda sold that many CR-Vs in a single month in the United States.
Ford Escape volume slid 5% in August but has risen 16% so far this year.
The five top small utility vehicles from Japan’s brands combined for 97,098 sales in August 2013, up 52% from 63,809 in August 2012. The CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, Subaru Forester, and Mazda CX-5 are America’s first, fourth, seventh, twelfth, and 22nd-best-selling SUVs/CUVs overall so far this year.

Not unpredictably, the CX-5’s 118% year-over-year improvement through the first two-thirds of 2013 ranks fourth among utility vehicles of all sizes. (The CX-5’s eight-month performance in 2013 compares with only six months from 2012.)
Only the BMW X1, Nissan Pathfinder, and Mercedes-Benz G-Class have reported larger percentage gains.

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, right? This explains why you’ll see the Encore and XV Crosstrek are listed with small cars, too, and the tweener-sized Sorento and Santa Fe are shown with midsize SUVs and small SUVs, and the pricey FJ Cruiser and Xterra with midsizers, as well… 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.
