Small Car Sales Figures In Canada - July 2013 YTD

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.

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.
