Now in June, the Escalade and Escalade ESV, with 2 Escalade EXT sales, climbed to nearly 3000 units in June, a 57% year-over-year increase and an 18% jump compared with May of this year.

Cadillac sold 1907 regular-wheelbase Escalades, an 84% year-over-year improvement, and 1058 long-wheelbase Escalade ESVs, a 59% jump compared with June of last year. In other words, the big Escalade outsold the Land Rover Range Rover, and then Cadillac sold another 1907 copies of the "smaller" Escalade.

This sales pace still doesnt compare with the achievements made by the Escalade a decade ago. Cadillac sold 2698 regular-wheelbase Escalades in June 2004 and 1246 Escalade ESVs (and another 670 Escalade EXTs.) 

But in 2004, the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class didnt exist, we hadnt yet witnessed a Hurricane Katrina-fuelled gas price increase, and the purchase/lease of a gigantic SUV wasnt perceived to be as distasteful. 

In case you hadnt heard, June was a pretty good month for GMs other big SUVs, the increasingly costly ones made by Chevrolet and GMC. You can click any model name in the tables below to find historical monthly and yearly U.S. auto sales data. You can also select a make and model at GCBCs Sales Stats page. These tables are now sortable, so you can rank large luxury SUVs any which way you like. Suggestions on how GCBC should break down segments can be passed on through the Contact page.

Why combine the pair? BMW has reorganized their naming structure, but the 4-Series of June 2014 was a 3-Series in June 2013. 

Regardless, the 4-Series continues to be the far more popular two-door BMW family. (BMW is starting to sell an Audi A5 Sportback-like 4-Series Gran Coupe with four doors, however.) BMW Canada only sold 88 copies of the 2-Series in June. 

The 2ers entry-level competition features more doors and, in the form of the Mercedes-Benz CLA and Audi A3, attract far more buyers. Mercedes-Benz sold a monthly average of 373 CLAs in the second quarter of 2014, up from 179 in the previous seven months. Audi sold 276 A3s in June, and all 675 A3s sold so far this year found homes in the second quarter, after the A3s hiatus ended. 

Audi Canadas base price for the A3 is $31,100; the CLA starts at $34,300; the 2-Series at $36,000. Among vehicles with base prices above $50,000, the most popular vehicle in June was the Mercedes-Benz M-Class. This was just the second month since September of last year that something other than the BMW X5 led all $50K+ vehicles.
