Canada Midsize Car Sales - February 2013

2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid venetian red pearl
The Ford C-Max outsold the Toyota Prius V by six units in Canada in February 2013. The Ford, which GoodCarBadCar reviewed a couple weeks ago, is now two sales ahead of the Prius V through two months. The V, remember, sells more frequently than the conventional Prius in Canada. Toyota Canada sold 176 Camry Hybrids in February; 352 this year.

 Hybrids are doing more and more for manufacturers competing in Canada. Mainstream sedans obviously have a greater impact, volume-wise, than high-tech green cars like the Chevrolet Volt. The Malibu, which doesn't sell half as often as the class-leading Ford Fusion, sold eleven times more often than the Chevrolet Volt in February.

This isn't a mark on the Volt, nor does it say anything about the future impact of plug-in cars. But you come here to find out what has happened. And despite its intriguing electric capabilities, the Volt's high price means it hasn't been able to compete with normal sedans like the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, and Hyundai Sonata, top-selling midsize sedans which are or will soon be available in hybrid form.

 Speaking of which, the class leader has built up quite a lead over its rivals early in 2013. Ford Fusion volume in Canada through February is 25% stronger than Hyundai Sonata volume.

 Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for all these vehicles can be accessed by clicking a model name in the sortable tables below or by selecting a make and model at GCBC's Sales Stats page. You can rank vehicles by year-to-date volume or February sales or by year-over-year change by clicking column headers in any of the lists. Click the accompanying chart for a larger view. And feel free to make suggestions on how GCBC should break down Canada's midsize category.

January 2013 Midsize Car Sales In Canada

2013 Suzuki Kizashi Blaze Red
It's not exactly the order you'd expect. January 2013 Canadian midsize car sales results showed the Suzuki Kizashi outselling the Subaru Legacy. The Mazda 6 outsold the Kia Optima, Nissan Altima, Chevrolet Malibu, Dodge Avenger, and Volkswagen Passat, not to mention the Kizashi and Legacy. Toyota's Prius V outsold the Honda Insight, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, and Toyota Prius Plug-In, and did so with 31 units to spare.

And the Ford Fusion was Canada's top-selling properly midsize car in January, outselling 2012's best seller, the Toyota Camry, by 473 units. The Camry fell to fourth spot, behind the surging Honda Accord and the Hyundai Sonata, which recorded its best January ever, a feat Hyundai Canada accomplished with the Santa Fe last month. 

 Sales of the Camry Hybrid rose 7.3% to 176 in January 2013, equal to 22.3% of overall Camry sales. 

 Toyota Canada is generous with model breakdowns. There are hybrid versions of numerous other midsize cars, but sales figures for those hybrids aren't made available, sadly.

December 2012 And 2012 Year End Midsize Car Sales And Large Car Sales In Canada

Total Kia Canada Volume Rose By 12,677
Units In 2012, The Optima Was Up By 9805 Sales

Chrysler says it was the biggest seller of midsize cars in Canada in 2012, but that only rings true if Hyundai and Kia are considered completely separate entities. The Sonata and Optima, platform-sharing midsize sedans, outsold the 200 and Avenger by 7581 units in 2012. 

 If you think the Toyota Venza is more of a Camry wagon than a RAV4 crossover alternative, then Toyota was clearly the dominant midsize seller in Canada last year, beating Hyundai-Kia by more than 10,000 units.

Perhaps none of this matters; maybe you're only an observer of individual performances. In that case, surging Camry volume helped Toyota take over from the Ford Fusion as Canada's best-selling midsize car. More recently, in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Honda Accord has become the dominant player. 

 With a little help from a coupe bodystyle, the Accord nameplate took off with the ninth-generation variant's arrival. In December, for example, Canadian Accord volume jumped 179% in 2012.

Toyota car sales fell 16.4% in December, but jumped 25.5% in 2012 as a whole. The Avalon, Venza, and Yaris sedan posted respective decreases of 14%, 13%, and 21%. But the Camry wasn't the only car to post a huge improvement. Sales of the regular Prius more than doubled. 

 The Prius V contributed more to Toyota's overall volume than the conventional Prius. Between the Prius C and Prius Plug-In, Toyota found another 2593 more Prius sales that couldn't have existed last year.

The decline reported by Toyota's Avalon was a lot like the decline reported by the Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Dodge Charger, and Nissan Maxima. Chrysler 300 volume jumped 89%, but that doesn't make this modern era a great time to sell big mainstream brand cars. Chrysler sold more than 10,000 300s as recently as 2007.

 As always, you can find historical monthly and yearly sales figures for these cars and any other vehicle by selecting a make and model at GCBC's Sales Stats home or by clicking the model name in the tables below. Fortunately, the tables below are now sortable. Click the column headers in the tables to sort by December 2012 volume or 2012 year end volume or re-sort alphabetically.
