Not quite, at least for 2020. Lexus sold the most luxury SUVs with 206k sales with the RX as the best selling luxury SUV in the states by double its next closest competitor. This is really where Lexus is far ahead of everyone else despite offering less models (especially which have been on the market for quite some time). MB sold 179k SUV's in 2020, and BMW sold 167k SUV's in 2020. Where BMW is lacking in SUV sales in mainly the X1/2 which only sell half of what the GLA/GLB do. The entry-level luxury SUV class is a growing market that BMW would be wise to take advantage of with some new and fresh models.

As for Audi they did about 122k as they sell less overall than the BMW, MB, and Lexus, and Porsche is not in the same ballpark as Lexus and the Germans as they are a higher up/more premium brand which sells less but at higher prices with greater profits and they only sell two SUVs.
