Rewind one year. January 2014 began a three-month span in which the Ford Escape, Americas top-selling utility vehicle in 2011, outsold the CR-V. By the end of the first-quarter of 2014, the Escape held a 3657-unit lead over the CR-V.

Back to the present. The CR-V outsold the Escape by 3157 units in January 2014.

Its together, however, that the top pair of small crossovers forms a dominant duo. Indeed, the top five generated more than half of the small SUV/crossover categorys January volume.

GCBC isnt 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 youll 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.

Top 20 Best Selling Cars In America January 2015

The Toyota Camry wasnt the best-selling car in America in January 2015, and despite the fact that the Camry held that crown in calendar year 2014, the drop to second spot wasnt surprising in January. The Camry was only Americas best-selling car in two of 2014s final five months - Nissans Altima ranked first in December.

• U.S. Car Sales Rankings By Model - January 2015

Yet while the Camrys slide into the second position wasnt surprising, it was somewhat surprising to see its key rivals trailing the number two Toyota in January.

The Nissan Altima ranked third; the Honda Accord fourth.

The Toyota Corolla was Americas best-selling car in January 2015.

Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these best-selling cars can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBCs Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well. GoodCarBadCar has already published the list of Americas best-selling trucks and best-selling SUVs in January 2015.
