Top 30 Best-Selling Vehicles In Canada - April 2016

The Ford F-Series broke its one-month-old all-time Canadian sales record in April 2016 with a 32% year-over-year increase to 13,957 units, equal to 7% of the Canadian auto industry's new vehicle sales volume.

Not only did Canada's best-selling vehicle break its own monthly sales record, the Canadian auto industry as a whole did so, as well. To what extent the massive figures were aided by U.S. buyers taking advantage of the low Canadian dollar – and prices for some vehicles which are comparable in Canada – we cannot know.

Canada Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - April 2016 YTD

---

Never before had automobile manufacturers combined to produce more than 200,000 new vehicle sales in a single month, but April volume increased by more than 11,000 units in April; by nearly 46,000 units in the first four months of 2016.

SUVs and crossovers have joined with pickup trucks to provide the bulk of the increase. Car volume is down 5% so far this year in Canada and tumbled 8% in April 2016. Canadians bought and leased nearly 78,000 utility vehicles in April; barely more than 72,000 passenger cars.

Outside of those two arenas are van sales. Canada's best-selling minivan, the Dodge Grand Caravan, reported its highest-ever month of sales, as well. 6368 Grand Caravan sales positioned the Dodge minivan in third spot overall in April, 166 sales ahead of the best-selling car, Honda's Civic.

We've already published April lists for the 20 best-selling cars, 20 best-selling SUVs and crossovers, and complete figures for every pickup truck, links to which you'll find below.
