Largely on the strength of growing 7-Series sales, Canada's full-size luxury limo segment has seen sales volume expand through 2016's first three-quaters. Heading into October, category-wide volume is up by 102 units.

GCBC isn't 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 Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not made available in Canada.  Tesla sold 1007 cars in the first eight months of 2016. GCBC shows the Cadillac XTS and CT6, Hyundai Equus, and Kia K900 with midsize luxury cars not because of their size, but because the price points are much more directly comparable.
