Midsize Car Sales Figures In Canada - July 2013 YTD


GOOD CAR BAD CAR



2014 Chevrolet Malibu
Canadians registered just 221 Chevrolet Malibus in July 2013. Malibu sales are higher this year than they were during the first seven months of 2013, but Malibu volume was way down last year, after falling sharply the year before, as well. 


Ford sold nine times more Fusions than Chevrolet sold Malibus last month. Score. 

How 'bout an even bigger victory? The Fusion is the eighth-best-selling car in Canada and the top-selling midsize car. Its lead over the Honda Accord is 2679-units strong.

Year-to-date, the Kia Optima is down by 2078 units in Canada. Nissan Altima volume has tumbled 2525 units from 8750 at this time last year.

The Subaru Legacy's 30% drop equals 457 lost units; Outback volume is down by 440 sales, and the Impreza is down 16%, an 1111-unit loss. Yet Subaru Canada is selling more automobiles than in the company's history thanks to a huge uptick in Forester volume - 6000 sold so far this year - and assistance from the BRZ and XV Crosstrek, which have combined for 3867 sales that didn't exist at this time last year.

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, right? This explains why you'll see the Outback and Venza listed with midsize SUVs, too... because readers have wanted it both ways.

2013 Honda Fit
In July 2013, Honda Canada regained the lead that typically belongs to the Civic. Canada's best-selling car through the first seven months of 2013 is once again the Elantra-beating Civic. Of course, it's a small lead, just 351 units. 

69% of Honda car sales in Canada are generated by the Civic. The Fit, meanwhile, produces just 8% of Honda's passenger car volume in Canada. Eight Civics are sold per Fit. South of the border, the Civic and Fit account for just 50% of Honda brand car sales, and the Civic outsells the Fit by a six-to-one count. 


Hyundai's Elantra range outsells the leading subcompact, the Accent, by 2.8-to-1. The Toyota Corolla outsells the Yaris and Prius C - combined - by nearly four-to-one. The Mazda 3, Canada's fourth-best-selling car, by eight-to-one, as well.

The Chevrolet Cruze, Canada's fifth-best-selling car and fifth-best-selling compact, sells more than three times as often as the Sonic. Canada's sixth-best-selling car, the Volkswagen Jetta, doesn't even have a subcompact sibling in North America. 

Put it this way: Canadians love small cars, but they really love small cars that aren't too small.
