The CR-V, Rogue, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, and Ford Explorer – America's five top-selling utilities – combined for 22,000 additional sales in January. Comparatively, the two top-selling Hondas and Toyota cars, four of the five most popular cars in America in January, combined to lose more than 13,000 sales.
It's a tale of two cities. And the bigger, higher-riding, more profitable city is now outselling the smaller, lower, less flexible city by a count of 1.2-to-1.
Newly launched in late December in fifth-gen form, Honda sold 29,287 CR-Vs in January 2017. One year ago, the top-selling utility vehicle in America managed only 26% fewer sales. The Rogue, refreshed for 2017, jumped 46% to 28,760 units, 527 units less than the CR-V.

America's top-selling premium brand utility was the 30th-ranked Lexus RX, sales of which tumbled 21% as the Lexus brand reported its lowest-volume month in five years. Across the Toyota spectrum, sales fell 11% in January. Add that to an 11% drop at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and you have the reason for the market's modest dip.

* Italicized, asterisked, unranked lines are nothing more than available breakdowns, already included in the model's total, not in addition to the model's total.
° Overall market figure is a combination of all reported sales figures.

HybridCars.com Model X estimate: up 150% to 1000.
WSJ Model X estimate: up 500% to 2100.
