It's over. The Honda CR-V will not be Canada's top-selling utility vehicle in calendar year 2014, nor will the Toyota RAV4 or surging Nissan Rogue or anything other than the Escape.
Two other Fords cracked the top 13, the Edge and Explorer.
• All Makes & Models Ranked By July 2014 YTD Canadian Sales
• All SUVs/Crossovers Ranked By July 2014 YTD Canadian Sales
No premium brands positioned a SUV or crossover in this group of 20. Jeep's Grand Cherokee, however, was joined by two less costly Jeeps in the top 12, the fifth-ranked Wrangler and eighth-ranked Cherokee.
Among vehicles in the top 20, no year-over-year decline was worse than the Kia Sorento's 19% drop. Overall Kia sales fell 17% in July, as the Sportage fell 19%, the Rondo slid 55%, and car sales decreased at a 10% clip.
