Passenger car market share, meanwhile, fell from 41% in 2016 Q1 to 37% so far this year. While most of the most popular cars in America are selling far less often this year than last, the best-selling Nissan Rogue and its three top-selling cohorts have all made improvements.

U.S. SUV/Crossover Sales By Model - March 2016 YTD
Together, the Nissan Rogue, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape have already added 64,409 sales to the ledger in 2017, year-over-year. In March 2017 alone, the Rogue, CR-V, and RAV4 were up by nearly 21,000 units.
Whether the Rogue can maintain this unbelievable momentum throughout the course of the year depends on the degree to which Nissan is content to incentivize the top-ranked utility vehicle, the degree to which the new Rogue Sport (aka Qashqai) eats into its volume, and the degree to which new and refreshed vehicles like the CR-V and Mazda CX-5 carve out greater market share.
