Analyzing German small economy 4×4 sales figures in 2006

  2006 2005
Toyota RAV 4 20.429 17.475
Hyundai Tucson 13.645 8.202
Nissan X-Trail 7.894 10.179
Suzuki Grand Vitara 7.843 4.813
Honda CR-V 6.704 6.529

3 fast conclusions came to mind:

  • Toyota RAV4 still reigns in the world of small SUVs
  • Hyundai Tucson greatly outperformed the ailing Nissan X-Trail which is now showing its age
  • Suzuki made a good push with the new Grand Vitara while neither it nor Honda CR-V could come close to leaders
