5. Chevrolet Equinox: 290,458
The Chevrolet Equinox crossover was completely redesigned midway through 2017. The new version is smaller, lighter and better sized for its segment. Sales reflect the positive change, up just under 20 percent for the year.
The Equinox offers impressive handling for a crossover, and excellent power thanks to a pair of turbocharged four-cylinders. With a diesel engine option imminent, the Equinox offers much to buyers. Sales were up by 48,263 from the year before, making it one of the strongest movers on our list of best selling SUVs.
4. Ford Escape: 308,296
Ford’s compact crossover saw a refresh under the hood last year. There was a new 1.5-liter four, as well as a new version of the turbo 2.0.
Ford also added Sync Connect which allowed users to connect to their Escape using their phone. Adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance features were added. It was a big new look for the Escape, but sales didn’t reflect the changes. They were up, but only by 1,227 from the year before.
3. Honda CR-V: 377,895
An all-new CR-V was introduced for 2017. It wasn’t bigger, but it was more of the same CR-V formula. Excellent packaging, great ergonomics, good fuel economy and best in class cargo capacity.
It’s no surprise then, that sales were up. Honda sold 20,560 more CR-Vs last year compared with the year before. Still, it took a slip on our list of the best selling SUVs.
