Overall compact car sales grew 1.6% in August, on par with the rate of growth managed throughout the first two-thirds of 2014. The biggest gains have been produced by the Corolla and Nissan Sentra. Major losses have been generated by the Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra, which are collectively down by 28,509 units.
Subcompact sales grew slightly in August 2014 as the segment-leading Nissan Versa jumped 46% and Chevrolet Sonic sales soared to the highest level in the nameplate's history.
Two less conventional small cars stood out in August because of their vast improvements. Kia Soul sales jumped 50%, outselling all but seven compact cars. Sales of the Subaru XV Crosstrek, meanwhile, shot up 73% to 8244 units, more than Subaru managed with the whole Impreza lineup, WRX and STi included. Combined, the Impreza and XV (very much an Outback-ized Impreza hatchback) accounted for 31% of Subaru's record-setting 50,246 August sales.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the Encore and XV Crosstrek are listed with small SUVs, too, and the Acura ILX shown with mainstream cars is also displayed with luxury cars... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
