The growth rate among full-size, mainstream brand sport-utility vehicles on sale in America exceeds that of the improvement reported by the U.S. automobile industry as a whole, both in April and through the first four months of 2013.
The industry posted an 8.5% improvement in April and is up 6.9% through one third of 2013. Sales of these seven large SUVs - Tahoe, Suburban, Expedition, Yukon XL, Yukon, Sequoia, Armada - jumped 22.7% in April and are up 10.7% this year.
But year-over-year improvements aren't the whole story, right? After all, sales of the Porsche Cayman jumped 488% in April, but that was only a gain of 327 units in a market which gained more than 100,000 sales compared with the same period a year earlier. In America, however, large SUVs remain moderately high-volume vehicles.
Chevrolet's Tahoe was the 13th-best-selling SUV or crossover in April, ranking ahead of all three GM Lambda platform crossovers, including Chevrolet's own Traverse, not to mention 75 other SUVs and crossovers. From a ranking of 23rd at the end of the first quarter, the Tahoe climbed to a year-to-date ranking of 21st at the end of April.
In all, 5% of utility vehicle sales in America this year have come from these seven nameplates. And of the 74,998 large, mainstream brand sport-utes sold, 74% have been because of the General Motors quartet.
Combined, Acura, Infiniti, and Lexus have sold 74,481 SUVs and crossovers this year.
