November 2014 U S SUV And Crossover Sales Rankings Top 91 Best Selling SUVs In America Every SUV Ranked

2015 Lexus NX
The Honda CR-V was not just Americas best-selling utility vehicle in November 2014, it was Americas best-selling non-truck. In other words, no passenger car sold as often as the CR-V in November; not the Honda Accord; not the Toyota Camry.

The CR-V, Ford Escape, and Toyota RAV4 – Americas three best-selling SUVs – are all on pace to set sales records in calendar year 2014. Slow down, one of them already has. The RAV4 eclipsed its 2013 banner year before November even began. 


Within the first few days of December, Honda will break the CR-Vs one-year-old record. Ford only needs to sell 15,384 Escapes in December to break its record, also set last year. Ford has been selling at least that many Escapes on a monthly basis for nearly four years now.

One new product was added to the list of SUVs and crossovers in November. Lexuss NX, a sub-RX Audi Q5 rival, sold its first 22 copies at the end of November. Expect to see at least 2000 monthly NX sales in the near future.

This post was updated at 9:55 AM AT on 12.08.2014 to reflect 30 additional Subaru Tribeca sales. * Italicized, asterisked, unranked lines are nothing more than available breakdowns, already included in the models total, not in addition to the models total.
^ Escalade here does not include sales of the EXT, which is shown with pickup trucks.
Rather than listing the 500L with the Mini Paceman and Countryman in these SUV/crossover rankings, its with cars in large part because it is not available with all-wheel-drive. The placement of numerous crossovers often prompts disagreement, but consider the vehicle types name: crossover. By its very definition, it crosses over from one category into another. The very act of calling, for example, the Toyota Venza a car or a utility vehicle requires ignorance of the fact that the Venza (or Outback, Crosstour, Encore, Countryman, 500L) is a square peg that cant be squeezed through a round hole.

Large Car Sales In Canada November 2014 YTD

2014 Kia Cadenza
Canadian sales of volume-brand large cars continued their steady decline in November 2014 thanks to especially massive year-over-year drops from the Chrysler/Dodge duo and the Chevrolet Impalas seventh monthly decrease of 2014.

The disappearance of many Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sales (not terribly surprising given a major model year transition) opened up an opportunity for the Ford Taurus to end November as Canadas top-selling big car. The 300 leads on year-to-date terms; the Charger ranks second.

Kias Cadenza continues to be a rare sight on Canadian roads. Only 13 were reported sold in November. In the Cadenzas best ever Canadian month, September 2013, the total only climbed to 47 units. GCBC reviewed the 2014 Kia Cadenza in the summer of last year.

You can click any model name in the tables below to find historical monthly and yearly Canada auto sales data. You can also select a make and model at GCBCs Sales Stats page. These tables are now sortable, so you can rank large cars any which way you like. Suggestions on how GCBC should break down segments can be passed on through the Contact page.

* Genesis refers only to the sedan, not the coupe. For Canadian purposes - Hyundai USA doesnt yet breakdown sales figures for the sedan and much less costly coupe - the Genesis will now be shown with both these volume brands, with which Hyundai is a direct competitor, and midsize luxury cars, with which the Genesis competes.
GCBC isnt 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. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.

November 2014 Canada SUV And Crossover Sales Rankings Top 89 Best Selling SUVs In Canada Every SUV Ranked

2014 Nissan Rogue grey
By the standards of the first ten months of the year, the growth rate achieved by Canadas ever-growing SUV/crossover fleet was downright abysmal in November 2014.

Canadian SUV sales rose 15.6% through the end of October. But November volume was up "just" 8.6%. Thats only five percentage points better than the growth of the industry as a whole. How discouraging.

Were kidding of course. Not about the actual numbers, but the sentiment. True, the year-over-year expansion of the utility vehicle sector in Canada wasnt quite as rapid as it was earlier in the year, but Canadians did buy/lease nearly 4000 more SUVs and crossovers in November 2014 than in November 2013. Much of that growth was achieved by the most popular members of the sector.

The Honda CR-V stole the Ford Escapes crown as the best-selling SUV in Canada for the first time since December 2013 (albeit temporarily, albeit not on year-to-date terms) thanks to 1601 extra units. The Escape, too, posted improvements. The Toyota RAV4 was up 6%. The Nissan Rogue doubled its November 2013 volume.

There were no new vehicles to add to November 2014s rankings, but we expect to see Lexus NX results soon. Americans registered their first 24 copies of the NX last month.
