Subcompact crossovers, however, declined 11% in October 2016, the fourth consecutive drop for the category led by the one-year-old Honda HR-V. Sales of the Mexico-built HR-V plunged 39% in October, a drop of 683 units.

The Chevrolet Trax, Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade, Mazda CX-3, Mini Countryman, and Nissan Juke all posted fewer October sales in 2016 than in 2015.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the Encore and XV Crosstrek are listed with small cars, too, and the pricey FJ Cruiser and Xterra with midsizers, as well... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
