The Honda CR-V, America's best-selling SUV/crossover in 2016 for a fifth consecutive year, begins 2017 in a familiar position.

U.S. SUV/Crossover Sales By Model - January 2017
The CR-V, launched in all-new fifth-gen form at the end of December, posted a 53% year-over-year surge to 29,287 sales in January, a monthly record for America's favourite utility vehicle. The surging Nissan Rogue, which earned top honours in December, jumped 46% to 28,760 units.
The Rogue is refreshed for the 2017 model year and will be adding a hybrid variant, as well. There'll be other new contenders in 2017. The Mazda CX-5 looks similar for the 2017 model year, but it too is updated.
A new Chevrolet Traverse will take hold in the coming months after a decade-long run. The new GMC Acadia is already in place. A new Jeep Wrangler, perhaps by year's end, will lead all true blue SUVs. The new Chevrolet Equinox will be a big seller, as well.
