I don't have any hard sales-numbers locally, but, in the D.C. suburbs where I live, the Subaru Crosstrek has enormous popularity...you see them almost everywhere, in both neural and pastel/lollipop-colors.


RAV-4s are also hugely popular in this area, but, of course, that is reflected in the rankings that bitkahuna posted.

Selling the hell out of those Transit vans.

Didn't expect to see such high numbers on the Rogue, a car I NEVER thought about buying. Lol

Those high numbers are because Nissan sells almost half their vehicles to rental fleets.

There’s a lot of vehicles on that list I’ve never thought about buying and never will.

Ford transit has the worst driving position I’ve ever experienced. I rented one time and I felt like I was having to dislocate my ankle every time I used the brake pedal. I’m 6’5 and the seat was all the way back. Horrible.

Once again, the GM truck twins are the best selling vehicle. I will never accept a different grille and trim to be enough to make these two a different vehicle. They are the sales leader over the Ford F150 and have been. Good for GM.
Surprised about the Explorer, but that is also good news. The Transit though... that must be a forced company truck thing. There is little good about it other than the fleet price.

Ford Transit is probably on the list due to fleet sales to businesses, taking the place of the Econoline vans, etc.

With the Rogue (and Rogue Sport), it goes beyond just rental fleets. They have been popular with the general public for years, because of their low price and a way to get AWD for not very much cash.

Nissan's sales success has everything to do with rental fleets...

The Rogue and Rogue Sport have both been extremely popular for a number of years....even over and above rental-sales. Like Crosstreks and RAV-4s, you see them everywhere.

Non answer. Since you refuse to post numbers I'll do it for you

Since 2017, the date of the numbers in the article you posted, Nissan sales are down 40%.

Irrelevant....what YOU posted was a non-answer. We are not talking about Nissan as a whole, but Rogue sales. Look at ACTUAL Rogue sales year by year....still selling well up in the six-figure category.

I see a lot of pickup trucks too.

I would've though SUV's would be the biggest sellers.
