| February 2012 U.S. Small SUV Sales Chart |
The Honda CR-V was America's best-selling SUV in February. CR-V sales jumped 30% and are up 23% so far this year. Another Japanese manufacturer, Mazda, sold 2578 two-row utility vehicles in February. Three vehicles accomplished that feat. Mazda sold 2561 two-row crossovers in February of last year. In other words, the CX-5's impact was small in February, and what impact there was only helped to steal sales from its brethren.
Not a single Jeep reported year-over-year declines in February nor has a single Jeep reported a year-over-year decline through the first two months of this year. The greatest increase among smaller utilities compared with the same period of last year belonged to Mini. Countryman sales jumped 46%. YOY declines belonged to just seven vehicles in the first table below. Apart from the dying Mazda Tribute's 44% drop, the worst loss was owned by the Kia Sportage. Sales of Kia's smaller utility dropped 14%.
After the jump you'll find specific sales numbers for every single mainstream SUV/CUV/crossover on sale in the United States. (Honda didn't sell an Element in February.)

On the positive side, America's favourite midsize SUV (a loosely defined segment, it must be said) also managed to post the greatest year-over-year increase of any midsize SUV. Jeep Grand Cherokee sales shot up 47% from 8667 to 12,724. The Grand Cherokee's lead over its arch nemesis, Ford's Explorer, now stands at 3001 units through two months of 2012.

Chevrolet Suburban sales shot up 39% in February 2012. The Suburban trailed only its little brother, the Chevy Tahoe, in terms of overall volume. So far this year, it appears almost as though many potential Tahoe buyers are skipping the smaller of the two large options and heading straight to the Suburban.
In February 2012, Chevrolet sold 7516 Tahoes and Suburbans. During the same period of last year, Chevrolet sold 7451. In the first two months of 2011, Chevrolet sold 15,075 Tahoes and Suburbans. One year later, Chevrolet sold 14,446, a very small difference. Though Tahoe numbers are way down, it doesn't speak of bad things going on in Chevrolet showrooms. At least not the Chevy showrooms in Abilene and San Angelo.
