And yet, Escape sales were far in excess of what the RAV4 or all but six vehicles could manage in May 2014. The Escape was one of three Fords in the top 14 on this list of the 20 best-selling SUVs and crossovers.
• All 249 Autos Ranked By May 2014 & YTD Canadian Sales
• All 86 SUVs & Crossovers Ranked By May 2014 YTD Canadian Sales
The RAV4 was joined by the 19th-ranked Toyota Highlander. Jeep landed three SUVs in the top 20; Chrysler also placed with the seventh-ranked Dodge Journey. There were three GM products, two Hyundais and one Kia, and single entries from Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, and Volkswagen.
