Small And Midsize Luxury SUV Sales In America - June 2016 YTD

Rare was the small luxury SUV which didn't sell significantly more often in the United States in June 2016 than in June 2015. 

Mercedes-Benz's GLA and the Acura RDX both reported sharp decreases, though both attracted more new customers in the first-half of 2016 than at this point in 2015. Volvo XC60 sales dipped slightly and are down 26% so far this year, not a surprising decline given the hype afforded the XC60's big brother and the XC60's increasing age.

But while this handful of automobiles struggled in the month of June, many other small premium utilities soared to new June heights last month. 

For the Audi Q3, June was tied with May as the model's best U.S. sales month ever. It was the best June ever for the BMW X1, Audi Q5, and Mercedes-Benz GLC. BMW X3 sales jumped 70%.

Compared with June 2015, Land Rover Discovery Sport sales more than tripled. U.S. sales of the Porsche Macan, Infiniti QX60, BMW X4, Lincoln MKC, and Lexus NX were all on the upswing as small premium SUVs/crossovers produced 6.4% of all U.S. SUV/crossover sales, up from 5.5% a year ago.

Curious about the categorization of the Jaguar F-Pace and Buick Envision? The F-Pace is larger than, for example, the Audi Q5, but it's a lot smaller than the Audi Q7 and priced in line with the Q5, to boot. As for the Buick, though we may feel strongly that Buick (and the Envision itself) lacks the premium stature necessary to fight at this level, Buick has priced the Envision – at least initially – at a price point higher than the F-Pace. We'll adjust as necessary.

First-quarter volume in this category was down 5% as sales of the Infiniti QX80, Land Rover Range Rover, and especially the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class declined. Three months later, U.S. sales in the category are up 4%.

Though Range Rover sales are still lower this year than last, the launch of the GL's GLS successor have basically levelled off, surging with a year-over-year increase of 565 units in June 2016 alone.

The Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV tandem continues to produce big gains, as well. 2960 total Escalades were sold in June, the fourth consecutive month Escalade volume shot past 2900 units.

Small SUV Sales In America - June 2016 YTD

June 2016 sales of small SUVs and crossovers jumped 12%, year-over-year, double the rate of growth seen in the category in the first five months of 2016.

Gains were obvious almost across the board. The Chevrolet Equinox/GMC Terrain, Dodge Journey, Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-5, and Subaru Forester were the exceptions, though most of their decreases were marginal.

Huge leaps from the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage propelled Hyundai-Kia to 6.8% market share in the category, up from 3.5% a year ago.

A refreshed Ford Escape appears to have helped 2011's top-selling SUV nameplate turn a corner: sales jumped 20% in June. Jeep's Compass/Patriot duo continue their rapid expansion as they head toward a transition phase (into one nameplate) at the end of the year.

The Honda CR-V grabbed top honours back from the Toyota RAV4, which led in seven consecutive months and maintained its year-to-date lead at the halfway point of 2016.

Among smaller subcompact utility vehicles, June 2016's leader was once again the Jeep Renegade. General Motors' Buick Encore/Chevrolet Trax twins combined to outsell the baby Jeep. Mazda's CX-3 remains terribly rare. 

Granted, the CX-3 isn't particularly common on dealer lots, either. Cars.com's inventory shows fewer than 5,000 in stock, compared with 13,000 Honda HR-Vs.
