Top 20 Best Selling SUVs In America August 2014

2014 Toyota RAV4
Neither of the two perennial favourites from Honda and Ford claimed the title of Americas best-selling SUV in August 2014. CR-V sales fell 2% (and remained above 34,000 units), and the Escapes 8.5% gain was only good enough for third spot.

The Toyota RAV4 was Americas most popular utility vehicle in August as sales jumped 52% to 35,614 units, a record-setting month following up on Julys record-setting month.

The RAV4 was joined by one Toyota and one Lexus in the top 11. Hondas Pilot ranked 13th among SUVs and crossovers. The Escape was one of two Fords, including the sixth-ranked Explorer, to make the list. GM landed three utility vehicles in the top 16. There are four Jeeps along with the Dodge Journey. 

Only six of the 20 top-selling SUVs and crossovers in America recorded declining sales compared with August 2013. The RAV4s massive jump wasnt matched by any of its 19 closest followers, although the Nissan Rogue, Explorer, Subaru Forester, Mazda CX-5, and Jeep Patriot all posted gains above 24%.

Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these best-selling SUVs and crossovers can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBCs Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well. GoodCarBadCar has already published the list of Americas best-selling trucks in August 2014 and will shortly publish the list of Americas 20 best-selling cars.

Granted, sales of these vans tumbled 40% a year ago. From the 2498 sales achieved by the category in August 2012, before the small Nissan NV200 and large Ram ProMaster joined the fray.

GMs full-size commercial van duo outsold Fords full-size tandem, the outgoing E-Series and incoming Transit, by 134 units in August. Ford led the small van category with the Transit Connect, sales of which jumped 27%. The Transit Connect, NV200, and Ram Cargo Van accounted for 21.8% of the categorys August volume.

As a result of this August largesse, commercial van sales are up 8% through the first eight months of 2014. Sales in the first half of 2014 were only slightly better than level.
