That 7167-unit improvement compared with February 2014s results was powered in large part by new models (Q3, GLA, NX, MKC, Macan), the Acura RDX, and Volvos XC60.

A number of more costly, mostly larger luxury SUVs and crossovers posted February gains, as well. From the BMW X5s 42% jump to the Land Rover Range Rover Sports 25% ascent, theres reason to believe that luxury SUVs dont need to be small (or large) to expand their market share.

But the rate of expansion in the premium arena is most easily located in a look at entry-level crossovers, particularly when we consider the age of some of the entries. Mercedes-Benzs GLK and the Audi Q5 have been around since 2009 and the second-gen BMW X3 is now operating in its fifth model year.
