Solidifying its position as the 2013's leader, the Honda CR-V cruised to a strong finish in December, outselling the Ford Escape by 4297 units. Escape sales rose 21.5% in December.
With 295,993 sales, it was Ford's second most popular model. But it was not quite as popular as the Honda CR-V in 2013, and it certainly wasn't as popular in December.
Honda and Ford account for five of the top 20 best-selling SUVs and crossovers in America in December. Jeeps were in sixth, seventh, and 13th positions, as the Cherokee outsold the Wrangler. There were also five GM utility vehicles in the top 20.
