Escape volume slid by 13% in August; Rogue sales jumped 30%. But the Escape ended the month 810 units ahead of the Rogue and leads the Toyota RAV4, Canada's second-ranked SUV/crossover through the first eight months of 2015, by an insurmountable 4647 units heading into September. The Ford Escape will end 2015 as Canada's top-selling utility vehicle.

Ford also positioned its SUVs/crossovers in the ninth and twelfth positions in August as Explorer sales jumped 59% and the Edge rose 4%. Hyundai's new Tucson, helped along by a clear-out of the second-gen model, more than doubled its volume to a Santa Fe Sport-besting 2205 units. 

The Dodge Journey and Jeep Cherokee also reported massive gains. Honda Pilot sales jumped 73% as the third-gen model becomes more widely available. Jeep Patriot volume shot up 92%.
