Small SUV Sales Figures In America - August 2013 YTD

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.
