Added to that were 30 long-wheelbase Escalade ESV sales. In other words, the Escalade ESV outsold the whole Lincoln Navigator lineup, short and long-wheelbase models combined.

Mercedes-Benz Canada reported a 39% increase in sales of the GL-Class, a 40-unit improvement. Unlike the Escalade, QX80, Range Rover, LX570, and G-Class, the GL is available with a six-cylinder powerplant. It can also be purchased with a diesel engine.

Huge increases from the Dodge Dart, Ford Focus, Nissan Sentra, and Volkswagen Golf – together with otherwise quite meaningful jumps from the Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Forte, Mazda 3, Mitsubishi Lancer, Subaru Impreza, and the Corolla itself - translated to nearly 22,000 extra sales for our strictly defined compact category.

Subcompact cars, meanwhile, despite disastrous results from the Chevrolet Sonic (worst month since its first full month on sale, September 2011), Ford Fiesta (fourth consecutive month below 4K), Kia Rio (worst month for the current-gen model), and Mazda 2 (replace me now!) were nearly cancelled out by Fit, Accent, Versa, and Toyota gains. 

Elsewhere in the small car world, Minis selling a fair number of new Coopers, the Hardtop models, not the dying Clubmans and Roadsters and Coupes. Buick and Chevrolet combined to sell more than 5000 copies of their small urban crossover twins, the Encore and Trax. And in addition to the 7527 Imprezas, WRXs, and STis sold in January, Subaru also sold 6513 XV Crosstreks.

January 2015 U S SUV And Crossover Sales Rankings Top 89 Best Selling SUVs In America Every SUV Ranked

Americas SUV/crossover market grew 19% in January 2015, a 63,000-unit improvement compared with January 2014.

For the fifth consecutive month, the Honda CR-V was Americas top-selling utility vehicle. The CR-V outsold the second-ranked Ford Escape by 3157 units. The third-ranked Toyota RAV4, the last utility vehicle to outsell the CR-V on a monthly basis, was just 230 sales back of the Escape.

U.S. sales of SUVs and crossovers expanded more rapidly than the overall market (+14%) in January but not quite as fast as the growth experienced in the pickup truck sector (+22%). 

Only a handful of moderately high-volume SUVs and crossovers posted year-over-year decreases: the Ford Edge, Dodge Durango, Buick Enclave, Cadillac SRX, and Hyundai Tucson, none of which sold half as often as the top-selling CR-V.

There were no new entrants in the utility vehicle arena in January, although the Volvo V60 Cross Country (which we label as a car) attracted its first 28 buyers. The Chevrolet Trax was in its second month on the U.S. market. It ranked 50th overall with 1839 sales, just behind the Mercedes-Benz GLA; just ahead of the Lexus GX460. 

The Trax, together with a number of premium brand utility vehicles which werent on sale at this time a year ago, accounted for 2.6% of all SUV and crossover sales in America in January.

* 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 Luxury Car Sales In America January 2015

During that period, stretching back to October 2013, Audis A8, Jaguar XJ, and Porsche Panamera havent done so once, while the BMW 7-Series and Lexus LS only did it four times each. 

S-Class volume was up 22% from 1281 units in January 2014 - the lowest-volume month in that 16-month span - to 1566 units.

Thats more than double the number of U.S. sales achieved by any of the S-Classs rivals in January 2015.

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. This explains why youll see the the A7 and CLS here but also with midsize luxury cars... 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. Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not broken down by model. ANDC estimates say sales for those brands in January were 103, 177, 63, 15, and 77, respectively. Tesla, unfortunately, doesnt release model-specific monthly U.S. sales data, but HybridCars.com estimates 1300 January Tesla sales.
