U.S. Vehicle Sales By Model - February 2017 YTDU.S. SUV/Crossover Sales By Model - February 2017 YTD
In 2017's first two months, category-wide sales have grown 28% compared with the same period in 2016, surging because of improved demand for each and every nameplate.

In part, that market share decline at GM comes as Ford ramps up the Expedition clear-out in the lead-up to the fourth-generation Expedition's launch and as the second-generation Nissan Armada doubles its volume.
