Consider the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain, Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, and finally the Toyota Highlander and Lexus RX. Together, these eight utility vehicles accounted for 6.1% of Canada's new vehicle market in September 2012.
Yet in terms of volume, not one of those pairs measured up to the individual Ford Escape last month. Escape sales are down 6% this year but shot up 21% in September, even as the overall industry reported 6.4% growth. The Escape is now 6955 sales ahead of the Honda CR-V in the race to end 2012 as the best-selling SUV in Canada. Despite a productive September, last year's second-ranked Dodge Journey has slid to the third spot as sales have fallen 1% through nine months.
Many have asked lately about the well regarded Mazda CX-5's low volume. The CX-5 was America's 26th-best-selling utility vehicle in September as the class-leading Escape sold 5.2 times more often. In Canada, so dominant is the Escape that even as the CX-5 ended the month as the 13th-best-selling utility vehicle (obviously much better than the little Mazda fared south of the border), the Escape still sold 5.3 times more often than the CX-5.
