Things heated up between the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape a couple months ago, as the compact crossovers battled for year-to-date sales supremacy. Now that the dust has settled, we can see that the CR-V dominated the segment with 281,652 units sold. The Escape was about 20,000 units behind, but we’ll be interested in seeing how the new 2013 Toyota RAV4 shakes up the segment.
Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Equinox was third best-selling CUV in 2012 with 218,621 sold, finishing way ahead of the fourth-place Toyota RAV4, which went home to 171,877 new owners. The Nissan Rogue settled for the fifth spot, ringing in a total of 142,349 sold for the entire year. The GMC Terrain finished mid-pack with 97,786 copies sold, while 76,347 Subaru Foresters were sold in 2012. Combine Terrain and Equinox sales and GM passes the Escape and CR-V at the top.
Rounding out the last of the top 10 best-sellers are the Jeep Patriot (62,010 sold), Hyundai Tucson (48,878 units), and the Mazda CX-5 with 43,319 sold. Crossovers that didn’t quite make the cut for the top 10 best-selling in the segment include the Jeep Compass, which outsold the Kia Sportage by about 4000 units (40,235 Compasses versus 36,357 Sportages), and the Volkswagen Tiguan with 31,731 sold in 2012.
