From a segment share standpoint, the Trax led with a 15 percent share, up four percentage points year-over-year, while the Crosstrek and HR-V each maintained shares of 11 percent, and the Compass maintained an eight percent share. The Trailblazer also posted an eight percent share. Meanwhile, the Encore GX held a five percent share, also up one percentage point, and the Envista earned a four percent segment share, up one percentage point.
The mainstream subcompact crossover segment expanded 13 percent to 389,615 units during Q1 2025, meaning the Trax and Trailblazer cumulative outperformed the segment average by a significant margin. What’s more, both models also outperformed the segment average on an individual basis.
The four GM vehicles in the mainstream subcompact crossover segment – the Chevy Trax and Trailblazer, along with the Buick Envista and Encore GX – accounted for a combined 123,614 deliveries for a cumulative 32 percent segment share, to place The General solidly at the top, accounting for nearly a third of all segment sales.

By comparison, the four Stellantis entries – the Jeep Compass, Jeep Renegade, Dodge Hornet, and Fiat 500X – earned a combined 36,282 deliveries for an 11 percent segment share. Notably, Honda, which sells just one model here, the HR-V, actually beat Stellantis by two deliveries. Subaru also outpaced the automaker with the Crosstrek.

Meanwhile, Hyundai – with the Kona and Venue – and Kia – with the Seltos, Niro, and Soul – saw a cumulative 50,851 deliveries and a 13 percent segment share, placing the Korean conglomerate far behind GM but in second place overall.
Sales Numbers - Hyundai and Kia Mainstream Subcompact Crossovers (With Soul) - Q1 2025 - USA
| MODEL | Q1 25 / Q1 24 | Q1 25 | Q1 24 |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIA NIRO | -31.53% | 5,118 | 7,475 |
| HYUNDAI KONA | -26.18% | 17,018 | 23,054 |
| HYUNDAI VENUE | +2.21% | 6,063 | 5,932 |

| KIA SOUL | -9.44% | 11,277 | 12,452 |
| TOTAL | -20.17% | 50,851 | 63,696 |
An argument could be made that the Kia Soul is not part of the segment in question but rather competes one segment below based on its size and price point. Removing the Soul from the Hyundai-Kia total nets 39,574 cumulative deliveries for a 10 percent segment share, bumping the conglomerate to fourth place overall behind Stellantis.

Out of the 10 manufacturers represented here, three field multiple models in this space of 21 entries, though one of those models has been discontinued and will eventually fall off this list. When combining sales volumes of those compared to automakers with a single entry, each ranks in the following order:
- GM – 32 percent share, four models
- Hyundai Motor Group
- 13 percent segment share, five models (including Kia Soul)
- 10 percent share, four models (not including Kia Soul)
- Subaru – 11 percent share, one model
- Honda – 11 percent share, one model
- Stellantis – 11 percent share, four models (the Fiat 500X has been discontinued, but remaining inventory continues to be sold)
- Nissan – seven percent share, one model
- Toyota – six percent share, one model
- Mazda – five percent share, one model
- VW – four percent share, one model
- Mitsubishi – two percent share, one model
Typically, automakers fielding multiple entries in this segment enjoy better sales volumes and higher segment shares, but those with a single model, like Subaru and Honda, actually manage to outsell automakers that offer several models.
The GM Authority Take
Chevy Trax continued to lead this crowded segment – one so competitive that GM competes with four entires. The Trailblazer similarly had a solid finish, placing fifth among 20 entries. Both models combined for a 23 percent share, or nearly a quarter of all sales here.
The success of the second-generation Trax is the result of the Bow Tie brand offering a compelling product that’s stylish, roomy, and affordable, while also being fun to drive. In all respects, the Trax is the disruptor of the mainstream subcompact utility space.
Together, the Trax and Trailblazer are part of Chevy’s highly successful one-two punch strategy. The story gets even better when factoring in GM’s two other models – the Buick Envista and Encore GX, which have enabled The General to absolutely dominate the mainstream subcompact crossover space.
