Small SUV Sales In Canada - April 2016 YTD

Canadian sales of subcompact crossovers more than doubled in April 2016 to nearly 7000 units, or nearly 700 sales per contender. New vehicles – the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, and Fiat 500X weren't available at this point in 2015 – contributed more than one-third of the sector's sales.

Indeed, the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3 are consistently Canada's two top-selling subcompact crossovers. 12,125 HR-Vs have been sold in Canada since last June; 9932 CX-3s have been sold in Canada since last May. 

Keep in mind, the Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax twins easily outsell the top-ranked HR-V.

Meanwhile, though Toyota is absent from the subcompact craze until the C-HR arrives, the top-selling small SUV/crossover in Canada is the Canadian-built Toyota RAV4. 

Sales of the RAV4 jumped 19% to 4985 units in April 2016, an all-time monthly sales record for Toyota Canada's best-selling vehicle.

GCBC isn't 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 you'll see the Encore and XV Crosstrek are listed with small cars, too, and the pricey FJ Cruiser and Xterra with midsizers, as well... 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.
