Small And Midsize Luxury SUV Sales In America August 2014 YTD

Despite a 9% year-over-year decline the Acura RDX was Americas leading small premium (semi-premium) crossover in August 2014. Combined, the Audi Q5 and its new small sibling, the Q3, totalled 4000 August sales. BMW sold 3942 X1s, X3s, and X4s.

Small premium crossovers were collectively up 15% compared with August 2013. Setting aside the four utility vehicle nameplates which werent on sale at this stage a year ago, sales of the continuing nameplates were down 3%.

In other words, the segment grew last month, though partially at the expense of established vehicles like the RDX, Q5, X1, X3, and Range Rover Evoque.

So far this year, sales of these small luxury crossovers are up 14.5%. Without the Q3, X4, MKC, and Macan, sales are up 7.5%.

Bigger and/or more costly luxury utility vehicles, of which there are many more on offer at this moment, are significantly more common. Combined, the Lexus RX, Acura MDX, and Cadillac SRX outsold the whole small premium segment. Granted, those are three of the more value-priced big brothers.

GCBC isnt here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains youll see the XC70 listed with luxury cars as well as with SUVs and crossovers and the Touareg with luxury SUVs and mainstream SUVs... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.

The Panamera is a bit player in Canada, as are all its potential rivals. But in August, the Panamera came within a single sale of catching the all-conquering Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Both cars enjoyed massive year-over-year improvements: 67% and 92%, respectively, for the Panamera and S-Class. Had BMW 7-Series remained level, it would have been the top seller in the segment. But the 29% decline reduced the 7ers total to 37 units, eight ahead of the Jaguar XJ, but nine behind the S-Class.

Year-to-date, the S-class is selling at a 2.8-to-1 pace compared with the 7-Series, its most natural rival.

GCBC isnt here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts. Sales data for brands such as Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not made available in Canada. Tesla doesnt release a monthly Model S sales report, either. ANDC estimates for Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce were 15, 17, 5, and 6, respectively, in August 2014. Tesla sold 442 cars in the first seven months of 2014. Total Maserati volume is reported, but not by specific models. GCBC shows the Cadillac XTS, Hyundai Equus, and Kia K900 with midsize luxury cars not because of their size, but because the price points are much more directly comparable.

Canadas intermediate car market has steadily become more disappointing over the last number of years. Most recently, sales through the first six months of 2014 were down 22%. July displayed some recovery, at least in comparison with July of 2013. August sales of midsize cars competing in Canada once again increased, albeit by just 3%.

Incidentally, while sales of the vast majority of major players have decreased in 2014, the Volkswagen Passat has been a bright spot. Passat volume is up 9% in 2014. But while the segment showed signs of small recovery in August specifically, Passat volume plunged 22%.

Sales of the Chevrolet Malibu jumped 117% last month. The Hyundai Sonata also reported more than double the volume it achieved one year ago, enough to make the Sonata Canadas midsize car leader for the second consecutive month.

Sales of the Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, and Chrysler 200 also improved. Total Chrysler Group midsize car sales, however, slid 27% as FCA decides to go it alone with a single midsize car. The Avenger is dead.
