The lion’s share of new vehicles sold in the United States of America during calendar year 2016 were SUVs and crossovers.
Just under 40% of the new vehicles sold – 6.93 million of the 17.55 million total vehicle sales – were SUVs and crossovers, a category led in 2016 for the fifth consecutive year by the Honda CR-V. Within that category, traditional body-on-frame SUVs accounted for 11% of the sales.
