Not GM's 83% market share in the full-size SUV segment. Not Porsche Macan's overtaking of the Porsche Panamera in year-to-date sales results. Not Jeep's 49% year-over-year sales improvement.

Okay, well maybe that last one, too. But the big story in August related to record Toyota RAV4 sales which followed up on July's record Toyota RAV4 sales. The key difference, however, related to the RAV4's position on the leaderboard. No SUV or crossover sold as often as the RAV4 in August. 

For the first time since March 2010, something other than the Ford Escape or Honda CR-V led the small SUV/crossover segment, and the SUV/crossover category, as a whole. RAV4 sales jumped 52% compared with August 2013.

These are popular vehicles, of that there is no doubt. And typically, the CR-V and Escape are more popular than the RAV4. The trio generated approximately four out of every ten sales in their category last month and 5.4% of all new vehicle sales in America so far this year.

They're all on pace for record annual sales in 2014, as is the Nissan Rogue, and the Subaru Forester, and the Jeep Wrangler, and the Dodge Journey.

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 cars, too, and the tweener-sized Sorento and Santa Fe are shown with midsize SUVs and small SUVs, and the pricey FJ Cruiser and Xterra with midsizers, as well... 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. GCBC has historically shown the Liberty with midsize SUVs but as the Cherokee - truly not midsize inside - replaces the Liberty, proper year-over-year comparison requires seeing the Liberty listed here with these smaller utility vehicles.
