The Honda CR-V and Ford Escape both crested the 30K barrier in total U.S. sales in May 2014 as the American auto market's positive numbers spread broadly across the SUV/crossover sector.
The CR-V was America's top-selling utility vehicle in May 2014; it leads the Escape by a narrow 783-unit margin heading into June. Only four of the 20 top-selling SUVs and crossovers reported year-over-year decreases. In the cases of Chevrolet's Equinox and Tahoe, the decreases were very slight. The two Chevys were joined by a sibling, the 15th-ranked Traverse, in the top 20.
