Large SUV Sales In America - 2010 Year End
Before Chrysler moved the Dodge Durango to a crossover platform (and killed the Aspen), and after auto sales crumbled to their lowest low, GM's market share in America's full-size SUV segment grew to 68.2% in 2010 from 67.3% in 2009.
Segment-wide sales grew 7% to 254,370 units as Ford and Nissan both recovered somewhat from the drastic 2009 hit they took. In addition to the 37,336 Expeditions sold at Ford, Lincoln sold 8245 Navigators. Nissan sold 19,344 Armadas and 11,918 Infiniti QX56s.
Cadillac added 16,118 Escalades and 8674 Escalade ESVs to the sales generated by the quartet you see below. Combined, these six SUV nameplates were responsible for 9% of GM's U.S. volume in 2010.
