The SUV segment in Mexico posted record sales during the first half of the2017, totaling 159,773 units, an increase of 7.4% compared to the same period of 2016, according to data from the Mexican Auto Dealers Association (AMDA).

The Honda CV-R grabbed a 9% market share with 14,415 units, making it to the first position of this category and becoming the only SUV among the 10 most sold vehicles in Mexico.

The Nissan X-Trail followed with a 7.9% market share to 12,625 units, while the Kia Sportage took the third place, totaling 9,569 units and a 6% share.
