Led by the new, fifth-gen, 2017 Honda CR-V that jumped 40% to 2851 units, the category's additional 3900 sales occurred with growth from nearly every nameplate in the category. 

The Chevrolet Equinox, Dodge Journey, GMC Terrain, Hyundai Tucson, discontinued Jeep Patriot, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5, Mitsubishi Outlander, and Nissan Rogue didn't just improve upon their January 2016 performances: they all reported double-digit percentage growth.

Only the Jeep Compass and Volkswagen Tiguan, both of which are switching into second-gen form in the coming months and are expected to slow down, posted declining January sales.

Among subcompact crossovers, the Mazda CX-3, Mini Countryman, Mitsubishi RVR, Nissan Juke, and Subaru Crosstrek – a handful of which are likewise about to switch into next-gen form – all posted double-digit percentage losses.

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.
