Small Car Sales in U.S. - October 2013 YTD


2013 Honda Civic Si sedan

The Honda Civic took control of the small car market in October 2013 and, as a result, has now all but secured its lead among small cars in the United States on year-to-date terms, as well. 

The Civic, available as both a sedan and as a coupe, outsold the Toyota Corolla (and the Matrix with which Toyota combines Corolla sales figures) by 3691 units and leads the Toyota tandem by 23,705 units through ten months.

It's been a decent year for compact car sales in the United States. Their sales aren't growing as fast as the overall industry, however, and October sales weren't noteworthy at all. Eight different compacts reported substantial losses, and that doesn't include the disappearance of 1072 Suzuki SX4 sales. 

The subcompact segment wasn't booming in October, either, as ten nameplates combined for a 1.3% year-over-year increase. The segment was boosted by the Chevrolet Sonic's 25% increase, the best-selling Nissan Versa's 315-unit gain, and 475 Mitsubishi Mirage sales. But Toyota Yaris volume plunged and the Mazda 2 suffered a 35% decline. 


The Mirage is just as likely to have stolen 475 sales from the Chevrolet Spark as it was to have added 475 sales to the subcompact category's total. With Scion iQ sales tumbling and the Smart Fortwo declining sharply in October, the smallest small cars were down 21%. Sales of coupeesque small cars, meanwhile - 500, Cooper, Veloster, tC, Beetle - fell 18%.

Sales of midsize sedans (and a couple of their coupe namesakes) rose 4% in the United States in October 2013 despite the declines reported by America's three best-selling midsize cars. 

Toyota Camry sales slid 3%, Honda Accord volume fell 11%, and the Nissan Altima was down 12%. 

Huge year-over-year gains from the fourth-best-selling Ford Fusion, fifth-best-selling Hyundai Sonata, and sixth-best-selling Chevrolet Malibu added 18,266 sales to the midsize segment in October, however. Sales of the low-volume Mazda 6 more than doubled.


News surfaced today that Mitsubishi dealers will offer a Korean-built midsize sedan in the not-too-distant future. Galant sales rang in at 97,343 units in 2002. By 2005, Galant volume had fallen to just 33,976 units. Mitsubishi only sold 11,492 Galants in 2010. A Renault-Samsung Galant replacement won't be a Camry beater, but Mitsubishi could find healthier U.S. market share with a competitive car in a category which accounts for 31% of U.S. new car sales.

20 Best-Selling Cars in U.S. - October 2013

2014 Hyundai Sonata Limited white
With the monthly list of America's 20 best-selling cars, GoodCarBadCar is rarely full of surprises. The Toyota Camry was America's most popular car in October 2013. The five top sellers were Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissan's Altima. How rarely that is not the case.

Camry sales slid in October but are up slightly through ten months. The Honda Accord's decline made way for the surging Honda Civic to claim second spot. Nissan Altima volume also fell, and the Toyota Corolla pushed in front of the Altima by 1852 units. The Altima ranks fourth among cars year-to-date.

America's two best-selling compacts, the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus, both posted significant year-over-year declines. But Ford's Fusion countered with 21,740 sales, a 71% increase, and the Chevrolet Malibu was up 63.5%. No cars in the top 20 reported better YOY improvements, although the Hyundai Sonata's 18.5% jump was out of sync with recent history. Sonata volume is down 10% this year.

Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these best-selling cars can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBC's Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well. GoodCarBadCar has already published the list of America's best-selling trucks and best-selling SUVs in October. 

The + icon has been removed from year-over-year improvements. Look instead for red font to designate year-over-year declines. We've also added prior year data, which means you'll spend less time hunting around GCBC looking for relatively recent historical data.

America's 20 best-selling cars in October 2013 are as follows.

Midsize Car Sales Figures In Canada - September 2013 YTD

2012 Toyota Camry grey
Canada midsize car sales chart September 2013
Click Chart For Larger View
In September 2013, Canada's midsize cars were led by the Toyota Camry, sales of which jumped 34% last month after rising 38% one year ago and 58% in September 2011.

The Camry is Canada's second-best-selling midsize car this year and Canada's tenth-best-selling car overall. Sales of conventionally-powered Camrys actually rose 49% to 1756 units in September. In other words, even if we were to exclude the hybrid, the Camry was Canada's most popular midsize car last month. 

Camry Hybrid sales fell 25% to 235 units. 


Disappointingly - not just for Mazda but for enthusiasts who would like to see midsize buyers opting for something stylish and fun - sales of the Mazda 6 fell 32% to 295 units and are up just 10% this year, the year in which Mazda introduced the latest 6. 

Other new sedans have posted far more significant year-over-year gains, and they've done so having started from higher sales plateaus in 2012. Sales of the best-selling Ford Fusion are up 25%; Honda Accord sales have shot up 135% in 2013 and more than doubled in September, as well.

Large Luxury Car Sales Figures In Canada - September 2013 YTD

Click Chart For Larger View
In September 2013, for the first time since April 2011, Porsche Canada sold more than 50 Panameras. 

BMW didn't sell that many 7-Series sedans and Mercedes-Benz certainly didn't sell that many S-Class sedans (and CL-Class coupes) in September. 

Jaguar XJ volume, up 183%, couldn't hold a candle to to Porsche's September Panamera output.

2012 was the best sales year for the Panamera since the biggest Porsche car debuted in 2009. After a challenging start to the year, however, breaking that record in 2013 will require more big gains in the fourth quarter, something Porsche anticipates on a global basis.

The Panamera continues to be the ugly duckling in a segment full of attention-grabbing cars. Its interior, however, is a winner, and dynamically, the Panamera is hard to beat.

Midsize Car Sales Figures In America - September 2013 YTD


2014 Mazda 6 red
Mazda 6 sales, rising fast in the United States, are rising from awfully low totals one year ago. Compared with 2004, Mazda 6 sales were down 53% to a new low in 2012.

So yes, Mazda 6 sales are better this year than last year. In nine months, Mazda USA has almost sold as many 6 sedans as the company did in all of 2012. Yet the 6 continues to be a very low-volume player in a very high-volume segment.

For every 6 which Mazda sold in September, Volkswagen sold 2.5 Passats. Need more perspective? For every Passat sold by Volkswagen, Ford sold 2.5 Fusions. And for every Fusion sold by Ford last month, Toyota sold 1.6 Camrys. 


The 6 was America's eleventh-best-selling midsize car in September 2013. The Toyota Prius and Subaru Outback also outsold the 6. Only 14 out of every 100 Mazdas sold last month were 6 sedans. 

Could Mazda's (delayed) diesel make the 6 a mainstream midsize sedan? It'll certainly make the 6 an even better car (if and when it eventually arrives), but no, a 6 diesel won't be common in the United States.

The Camry was once again the best-selling midsize car and best-selling car overall in September, 6695 sales ahead of the second-ranked Honda Accord.

Small Car Sales Figures In America - September 2013 YTD

2014 Kia Forte blue sedan
Kia car sales were down 19.4% in the United States in September 2013 as the overall new vehicle market in the abbreviated month slid 4.4%. 

But those Kia sales include 926 extra sales from the Cadenza, which wasn't on sale at this time last year. Exclude the Cadenza, and Kia passenger car sales fell 22.1%. 

And even that figure includes the best-selling Kia, the midsize Optima, which fell 18.6% in September. Excluding the Cadenza and the Optima shows that sales of Kia's small car trio - Forte, Rio, Soul - fell from 19,550 in September 2012 to 14,729, a 24.7% decline. 


The new Forte has been slow getting going, as its Hyundai partner climbs the compact leaderboard. The Forte was America's ninth-best-selling compact car a year ago but fell to eleventh last month.The Soul, also undergoing a refresh, is only falling from its best year on record, and its year-to-date decline is slight. 

USA small car sales chart September 2013
Click Chart For Larger View
Sales of the Rio are actually up slightly this year, something which can't be said of the Hyundai Accent, Mazda 2, or Toyota Yaris.

So are we just picking on Kia for the fun of it? Not at all: GoodCarBadCar named the Rio hatchback to the annual Good 12, and the 2014 Forte received a glowing review on these pages a few months ago.

Only four brands reported worse year-over-year passenger car declines in September than Kia. Chevrolet cars were down 21%, but so much of that loss was attributed to the Cruze. Acura cars fell 39%, but that's hardly news. Mitsubishi cars were down 39%, but their car lineup is shrinking. 

That leaves Scion as the only comparable outfit. But even there, sales of one car, the FR-S, improved, while the iQ, tC, xB, and xD reported huge percentage losses.

Top 20 Best-Selling Cars In Canada - August 2013


2014 Ford Fiesta sedan grey
Honda solidified the Civic's status as Canada's best-selling car with a massive August in which 7213 Civic sedans and coupes were sold.

Civic volume rose 25% year-over-year. Although Civic sales remain down through the first eight months of 2013, August 2013 was the third consecutive month of year-over-year increases. Combined with American Honda's total, 46,671 Civics were sold in August. Toyota USA and Toyota Canada combined for 46,077 Camry sales.

Now 2546 sales back of the Civic, Hyundai Canada's Elantra family, while poised to easily claim the second spot, does not appear capable of ending 2013 as Canada's best-selling car. Elantra sales rose 18% in August and are up 15% this year.

In spite of a 20% drop, Volkswagen Golf sales were strong enough for a global top seller to move up to 15th spot after finishing 20th in July. This bumped the BMW 3-Series down a spot. The Nissan Sentra slid from twelfth to 20th. 

Volkswagen Jetta sales rose 7% in August - the Jetta was Canada's sixth-ranked car in August and is the sixth-ranked car going into September. 
2014 Nissan Versa Note blue
Canada's top subcompact, the Hyundai Accent, was challenged by the surging Nissan Versa, which ended August just 400 sales back. Year-to-date, the Accent leads its twin, the Kia Rio, by 2313 sales. Another subcompact, the 14th-ranked Ford Fiesta, reported an 84% year-over-year increase but remains down sharply this year.

In the midsize race, the year-to-date leader, Ford's Fusion, ended August as the top-selling midsize sedan and Canada's ninth-best-selling car overall, 480 sales up on the Honda Accord.

Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these models can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBC's Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well. GCBC has already published rankings for dozens of different brands and 13 different trucks and will soon publish the rankings for Canada's 20 top SUVs and crossovers. This list showcases the 20 best-selling cars in Canada from August 2013.

Large Car Sales Figures In Canada - August 2013 YTD



2014 Buick LaCrosse
The desire of Canadians to own big sedans produced by volume automakers continues to disintegrate in the face of a rising tide of small and midsize crossovers and significantly more image-conscious luxury sports sedans from premium brands.

Sales of the Buick LaCrosse slid 69% in August. One time thing? In twelve consecutive months, LaCrosse sales have fallen. The new Chevrolet Impala certainly hasn't taken hold yet, and 2013 will mark the seventh straight year in which Canadian Impala sales have fallen. Sales of the Chrysler 300 and Nissan Maxima are also down. 

Meanwhile, the Toyota Avalon's massive percentage increases translate to very little extra volume for Toyota dealers.

The Dodge Charger was the favourite large sedans for individuals, the RCMP, and rental car companies across Canada in August 2013. Sales more than doubled and are up 11% this year. For every Kia Cadenza sold last month, Dodge sold nearly 15 Chargers. For every Charger sold, Chrysler Canada sold 15 Ram pickups.

Small Car Sales Figures In America - August 2013 YTD


2013 Chevrolet Sonic hatchback orange
The Honda Civic was America's best-selling small car and second-best-selling car overall in August 2013. The Civic's 58% year-over-year improvement was unmatched by any compact car other than the Dodge Dart, which was a three-month-old nameplate at this time in 2012. 

USA small car sales chart August 2013
Click Chart For Larger View
As America's new vehicle market grew 17% in August and car sales rose 15%, five subcompacts reported above-average year-over-year increases: Sonic, Fiesta, Fit, Prius C, and Yaris. Sales of the Kia Rio and Nissan Versa also grew in August. 

Toyota USA sold more Prius Cs in August than in any month in the model's history. The same can be said for GM and its Chevrolet Sonic.

With 4534 sales, Chevrolet enjoyed its best Spark sales month in the model's 14-month history. For the eighth consecutive month, the Scion iQ posted a decrease in sales, although August iQ volume was at the second-highest point in 2013.

Midsize Car Sales Figures In Canada - July 2013 YTD



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.

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. 


Canada small car sales chart July 2013
Click Chart For Larger View
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.

Small And Midsize Luxury Car Sales Figures In America - July 2013 YTD


2014 Lexus IS F Sport
In July 2013, Lexus sold more than 3000 copies of their IS in the United States for the first time since December 2011. The new IS, somewhat controversial in its design, is a worthwhile consideration for buyers of small sports sedans with a luxury bent, certainly more so than the IS that came before it, which quickly faded into the background of the category.

U.S. Lexus IS volume rose to nearly 55,000 units in 2007 but have fallen every year since.

Of course, the IS's 59% jump in July didn't make it a 3-Series beater. With a 29% jump, BMW sold 9890 copies of their 3-Series. But the IS did outsell the Cadillac ATS, a car which sold on fewer than 3000 occasions for the third time this year. 


USA luxury car sales chart July 2013

Lexus could certainly use a high-volume car to work alongside the ES, sales of which have risen 80% this year. The GS, only introduced in fourth-generation form for MY2013, is down 15% this year to just 10,790 units through seven months. 

The sedan-only GS trails the segment-leading Mercedes-Benz E-Class by 23,046 sales, although the Benz has the benefit of being offered in (low-volume) coupe, convertible, and wagon form. 

Earlier today, GoodCarBadCar posted sales data for large luxury cars, including the Audi A7 and Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, which we're still showing here for the sake of consistency.

Small Car Sales Figures In America - July 2013 YTD

2013 Chevrolet Spark blue
Small cars accounted for half of all Chevrolet passenger car sales in July 2013, up from 42% a year ago. This was driven in large part by the Cruze, which reported a 70% year-over-year increase, but Chevrolet also recorded its best Spark sales month in the model's 13-month history. 

The Spark is America's 60th-best-selling car through the first seven months of 2013, ahead of the Volkswagen Golf and 90 other nameplates.


USA small car sales chart July 2013
Click Chart For Larger View
Honda, meanwhile, generated 53% of its passenger car volume with the Civic, CR-Z, and Fit last month. Toyota relied on the Prius C, Corolla, Matrix, and Yaris for slightly less than one-third of its car sales. Hyundai-Kia emphasizes small cars, not just in terms of sales but as a percentage of their offerings: Accent, Elantra, Veloster, Forte, Rio, and Soul were responsible for 58% of the Korean manufacturer's July 2013 passenger car volume.

The best-selling Mini variant in July was the Countryman, which posted its second-highest-volume month in the model's history. Mini's five-pronged Cooper range - Hardtop, Clubman, Convertible, Coupe, Roadster - has outsold the Fiat 500 by 700 units through seven months. Fiat added 962 500L sales in July; a good thing, as Fiat 500 sales tumbled 24%. July marked the second consecutive decline and just the model's second drop since Fiat returned to North America.

2013 BMW 750Li brown
Although sales of the BMW 7-Series were cut in half in July 2013, the biggest BMW was the top-selling car in its category last month. 

That excludes the Tesla Model S, which treads ground between E-Classes and S-Classes, the 5-Series and 7-Series, and which likely sold 1550 times in July - Tesla doesn't release monthly U.S. sales data. Still, that's more than double what most big limos managed, although Mercedes-Benz sold 5605 E-Class sedans, coupes, convertibles, and wagons in July in the category below this one.


Sales of the BMW 6-Series sedan, coupe, and convertible tumbled, as well. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class plunged 32%, Porsche Panamera volume slid 22%. 

Year-to-date, the S-Class is 862 sales ahead of the 7-Series, which is 18 sales up on the Lexus LS.

July's results mark the first time in which the Audi A7 and Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class are included in this GCBC "large" luxury car list. (We'll continue to show them with the lower-priced midsize luxury cars for the time being, for consistency's sake.) 

The A7's price puts it closer to the A8 than it is to the A6. The CLS, though significantly less costly and less roomy than an S-Class, is just as expensive as the Lexus LS, and it belongs here as much as it does in a list that includes the Lincoln MKZ. Either way, the A7 and CLS are both more attractively priced than the BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe, a car with which they theoretically compete.

Large Car Sales Figures In America - July 2013 YTD


2012 Hyundai Genesis sedan silver
11% of the passenger cars sold by Buick, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and Toyota in the United States in July 2013 were their biggest, most costly cars.

USA large car sales chart July 2013
Click Chart For Larger View
At Chevrolet, 18% of the brand's car sales total came from the recently-refreshed Impala. 42% of the volume generated by Buick's three-model car division came from the LaCrosse. Chrysler's Chrysler brand attracted 32% of its clientele with the 300; Dodge got 24% from the Charger. 12% of Ford's July car buyers drove away in a Taurus - 12% of Taurus buyers were police departments. 

Only 7% of Hyundai car buyers opted for an Azera or Genesis, sales figures for which take the Genesis Coupe into account. (That's Hyundai's decision.) Less than 5% of Kia's car buyers chose a Cadenza, less than 7% of Nissan's car buyers chose a Maxima, and precisely 6% of Toyota's car sales occurred because of the Avalon.

Kia did sell 1.75 Cadenzas for every Hyundai Azera sold. Of course, Hyundai dealers were also able to offer customers spending $35,000 a rear-wheel-drive Genesis sedan. Toyota USA sold 66 times more Avalons than Toyota Canada did last month. Impala volume was 69 times stronger in America than in Canada.
