2012 SUVs
The offering of traditional truck based SUVs has diminished significantly in recent years with even models like the Ford Explorer moving to car-based platforms. Other big sellers include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota 4Runner, Honda Pilot, Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon as well as more obvious crossovers like the Toyota Highlander and Chevrolet Traverse, and sibling the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. The compact crossover segment is dominated by models like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV-4, Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Hyundai Tucson. Popular luxury SUVs include the Lexus RX, BMW X5, Mercedes ML and Acura MDX.
