January 2013 Midsize SUV Sales In Canada

2013 Ford Flex SEL AWD Ruby Red
Canadian sales of more than a dozen midsize SUVs and crossovers declined in January 2013. Compared with January 2012, sales of the Chevrolet Traverse, slowly-dying Dodge Durango, Ford Flex, Ford Edge, defunct Hyundai Veracruz, Jeep Grand Cherokee, not-yet-replaced Jeep Liberty, soon-to-be-replaced Kia Sorento, Nissan Murano, Subaru Tribeca, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Touareg, and Nissan Xterra sold less often last month. 

 Overall, the Canadian new vehicle market was down 2.2% in January 2013. All the vehicles just mentioned posted declines worse than 2.2%. It's important to recognize that, in many cases, perfectly understandable factors caused a disturbance. The first-generation Jeep Liberty has been dying a slow death for months and Jeep hasn't yet introduced the second-generation Liberty. Naturally, Liberty sales will slide. In other cases, sales are down because vehicles simply aren't as popular as they once were.

Sure, January isn't a big year for Canadian auto sales. The fact that Ford sold 690 Flexes in June of last year has no connection to the number of Flexes Ford Canada can sell in the dead of winter. But the fact that Ford Canada sold 267 Flexes in January 2010 does say something about the Flex's 108-unit performance in January. 

 Since Ford Canada delivered 1790 Flexes between May and July of 2012, only 831 have found buyers in the last six months. The evidence is fairly clear: not as many Canadians want a Ford Flex now as a year ago, or for that matter, three years ago. 

 But that can't possibly really matter all that much to Ford. So they didn't hit the Flex out of the park - yippee. Ford Explorer sales rose 2% in January after rising 11% in 2012. Ford Edge sales dipped in January but climbed 21% last year, enough to make 2012 the Edge's best Canadian sales year yet. And the Escape, perpetually Canada's best-selling SUV, posted a 24% increase in January. Ford is the major brand in Canadian utility sales, and even with the Flex's January 2013 decline, that's not about to change.

 The tables below are now sortable. You can click any model name to find historical monthly and yearly sales figures from both Canada and the U.S. And you can click the accompanying chart for a larger view.

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

2013 Ford Expedition Red

Canadians registered 658 new full-size mainstream brand sport-utility vehicles in December 2012. 59% of those SUVs were General Motors products, but the Ford Expedition was the class leader, outselling the GMC Yukon by 21 units.

 The Expedition was one of three full-size sport-utes to post a year-over-year volume increase in Canada in 2012. Compared with 2011, Expedition sales jumped 12%, good enough to beat the second-ranked GMC Yukon by 684 units. 7586 of these SUVs were sold in 2012, including the Kia Borrego's four units. GM owned 58% of the market, Ford another 25%, and the Asians the other 17%.

But the large SUV category is an awfully small category in Canada. Numerous midsize utility vehicles - including the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, which GCBC also displays with small SUVs - outsold the whole large SUV segment with ease. Ford markets three different utility vehicles which outsell the Expedition and the Expedition's rivals combined.

Speaking of Fords which outsell other SUVs, the Explorer beat the Jeep Grand Cherokee by eleven units. The Explorer also managed to outsell the Toyota 4Runner and Highlander, Toyota's midsize tandem, something it most definitely did not do south of the border.

Ford is a much more popular brand as a whole in Canada. 14.9% of the new vehicles purchased and leased in the United States in 2012, but in Canada, the Ford brand's market share was 16.1%.  29.1% of the new Fords sold in Canada in 2012 were SUVs and crossovers. 24.7% of Ford Canada volume came from passenger cars; 39.4% of Ford volume was F-Series derived.

As always, you can find historical monthly and yearly sales figures for these SUVs 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.

November 2012 Small, Midsize, And Large SUV Sales In Canada

2013 Toyota RAV4 XLE red
Toyota's Recently Revamped 2013 Toyota RAV4
Sales of large, mainstream brand sport-utility vehicles are up 0.3% in November 2012. At first glance, this seems more than a little odd. 

 As much as the North American new vehicle market has grown this year (up 6.5% through eleven months), growth in this category is not a matter of course.

U.S. new vehicle sales are up 14% through November, yet sales of these large SUVs are down 11% in America.

 Four of the seven SUVs in the table at the bottom of this post have suffered year-over-year declines in 2012. The best-selling Ford Expedition is up 8%. The worst-selling Nissan Armada is down 9%. Twins behave similarly? Sales of the identical GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe stand at 1023 units through eleven months.

Of course, these big truck-based sport-utilities only account for 0.4% of the Canadian new vehicle market. For every Expedition Ford Canada sells, 24.5 Escapes find buyers.  

 For all the Tahoes and Suburans and Yukons General Motors sells in Canada, the company sells 7.6 copies of the Equinox and Terrain. 

 The Nissan Rogue is nearly 27 times more likely to be sold than the Nissan Armada. Toyota's RAV4 is 35 times more popular than the Sequoia. 


 That should offer some perspective. Small SUVs and crossovers account for 19% of all new vehicle sales in Canada this year.
