2014 Year End Canada SUV And Crossover Sales Rankings Top 90 Best Selling SUVs In Canada Every SUV Ranked

Canadian sales of SUVs and crossovers increased 15% in calendar year 2014, a 79,000-unit improvement compared with 2013.

2014 was a record year for auto sales in Canada, but the industry would have recorded much smaller gains in 2014 had it not been for the strength of the SUV/crossover sector. Had sales of these vehicles remained level, auto sales in Canada would have grown at a 2% clip, rather than the 6% growth rate achieved with SUVs and crossovers included.

On its own, the Ford Escape, Canadas best-selling utility vehicle, recorded more than 7000 extra sales in 2014. The Escape was Canadas best-selling SUV in each of 2014s first ten months but fell to the Honda CR-V in both November and December.

In the final month of 2014, SUVs and crossovers combined to trail the car sector by fewer than 3800 sales. That 8% gap was much tighter than through the previous 11 months, when car sales were 28% stronger than SUV/crossover sales.

º Land Cruiser is a commercial vehicle in Canada. Rather than listing the 500L with the Mini Countryman in these SUV/crossover rankings, its with cars in large part because it is not available with all-wheel-drive. The placement of numerous crossovers often prompts disagreement, but consider the vehicle types name: crossover. By its very definition, it crosses over from one category into another. The very act of calling, for example, the Toyota Venza a car or a utility vehicle requires ignorance of the fact that the Venza (or Outback, Crosstour, Encore, Countryman, 500L) is a square peg that cant be squeezed through a round hole.

Moreover, the GL was still far more popular than other flagship luxury SUVs like the Infiniti QX80, Land Rover Range Rover, Lexus LX570, Lincoln Navigator, and the family of new Cadillac Escalades.

Escalade volume became much healthier as the year went along, particularly if we exclude the EXT pickup truck from the equation, a vehicle which was available in 2013 but not in 2013. Combined sales of the regular-wheelbase Escalade and the long-wheelbase Escalade ESV rose 41% to 821 units.

But Mercedes-Benz sold 3851 CLAs in 2014.

Audi sold all of its 2452 A3s in the final three-quarters of 2014.

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 why youll see the XC70 listed with luxury SUVs and the Acura ILX with mainstream cars... 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.
^ Acura combines sales figures of the outgoing RL with the new RLX. Mercedes-Benzs Canadian sales figures combine the E-Class with the CLS-Class. Audi Canadas A4 sales figures include sales of the Allroad.
‡ The XTS, K900, and Equus arent listed here because theyre not massive - they are - but because their price points position them much more closely to, for example, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class than the S-Class. Genesis sales figures here do not include sales of the Genesis Coupe (as Hyundais U.S. Genesis sales figures do), making the comparison with premium brand vehicles much more valid.
