Subcompact crossover growth has predictably slowed in early 2017 – the massive rates of improvement seen while the category was filling up over the last two years couldn't last forever. 

But it's still a category that's rapidly gaining market share. In 2016's first two months, subcompact CUVs accounted for 2.7% of the U.S. new vehicle market, up from 1.6% in the first two months of 2015.

Led by General Motors' twins, the Jeep Renegade, and the Honda HR-V, the subcompact CUV segment now accounts for 3.1% of U.S. new vehicle sales.

The CR-V has been America's top-selling SUV in each of the last five years, a streak that began in 2012 and – based on January's results – is unlikely to end in 2017.

Overall, compact crossover sales rose 7% to nearly 200,000 units in January 2017, equal to 17% of the market overall and 40% of the SUV/CUV market.

Subcompact crossovers rose 19% to 38,277 units, though not all nameplates are in on the fun. 

As the burgeoning subcompact CUV market begins 2017 with a blast, the Mazda CX-3 lost sales for a second consecutive month, Fiat 500X sales plunged 42%, the Nissan Juke slid 14%, and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport volume was down 11%.

Small SUV Sales In America - December 2016 & 2016 Year End

America's four best-selling utility vehicles, small crossovers all of them, each reported all-time record U.S. sales in calendar year 2016.

The Honda CR-V, at the end of its fourth-generation's tenure, rose 3% to 357,335 units. The Toyota RAV4, for much of 2016 the top-selling utility vehicle in America, jumped 12% to 352,154 units.

The third-ranked Nissan Rogue, which topped the sector thanks to a 53% uptick in December, jumped 15% in 2016 to 329,904 units. And the Ford Escape, the last SUV/crossover to take the best seller's crown from the CR-V, posted a modest 0.2% uptick to 307,069 sales.

Together, the quartet added 92,000 sales to the U.S. auto industry's ledger in 2016, a hugely meaningful improvement given the industry's overall 56,000-unit increase.

Seemingly, the rapid growth of subcompact crossover sales hasn't impeded their bigger brethren from making meaningful gains. 

Subcompact CUVs, led by the Jeep Renegade and GM's Buick and Chevrolet twins – Encore and Trax – jumped 27% to 537,609. 

Keep in mind, on their own, the CR-V and RAV4 sold more than 700,000 copies in 2016.
