September 2016 YTD U.S. SUV And Crossover Sales Rankings - Top 103 Best-Selling SUVs In America - Every SUV Ranked

Despite the overall American auto industry's sales decline of late, U.S. sales of SUVs and crossovers continue to grow. September volume jumped 4% as overall new vehicle sales volume slipped slightly. Year-to-date, U.S. SUV/crossover sales are up 7%, a gain of more than 330,000 units.

The Honda CR-V expanded its lead over the Toyota RAV4 with a 2446-unit victory in September. The RAV4 led through much of the year, but with 2016 entering its fourth quarter, Honda clearly wants to cement its best-selling SUV crown for a fifth consecutive year.

SUVs/crossovers grabbed 40% of the overall new vehicle market in September 2016, up from 38% a year ago. The five top-selling utility vehicles in America produce nearly one-quarter of the SUV/CUV market.

America's top-selling premium brand utility vehicle this year continues to be the Lexus RX, sales of which climbed 9% in the first three-quarters of 2016. The RX is selling nearly twice as frequently as the Acura MDX, its nearest upmarket rival. 

The RX is a perennial favourite, but there's no shortage of new contenders at a premium price point. 2016 has seen the introduction of the Jaguar F-Pace, Cadillac XT5, Bentley Bentayga, Maserati Levante, and Infiniti QX30.
