Small SUV Sales Figures In Canada - July 2013 YTD

Canadians continue to buy large numbers of small SUVs and crossovers as the market for cars levels off and the number of viable small SUV/CUV options increases.  Ford Escape volume plunged in July 2013, but sales are up 6% through the first seven months of 2013. A year ago, Ford posted its highest-volume Escape sales month of 2012. Honda CR-V sales shot up 39% in July, and the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan Rogue, Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, and Volkswagen Tiguan all reported meaningful gains. Mazda CX-5 sales more than doubled, year-over-year.

Nissan sold more than four Rogues per Juke in July. And Subaru's Forester was nearly twice as popular as the XV Crosstrek. And the Mini Countryman? Very little sells less often than Mini's four-door.
