3-Series sales shot up 51% in September, and while still off last year's pace, 3er sales are clearly on the way back to healthy levels. 3-Series sales rose 13% in August after falling 29% in July.
Aside from the Bimmer, every other car on September's list of Canada's 20 best-selling cars were from mainstream brands. The leading subcompact was Hyundai's eighth-ranked Accent. The Accent's Kia cousin was only four spots back. Combined sales of the Accent and Rio hit 3126, exceeding what Chevrolet accomplished with the Cruze. Canada's best-selling midsize car in September was the Toyota Camry, sales of which rose 38%. 315 of the 1490 Camrys sold were hybrids. The Camry's ninth-place finish was its best since March.
Canada's best-selling small car, second-best-selling vehicle, and the country's most popular car overall was the Honda Civic. Hyundai had a particularly strong sales month with the Elantra, but the dominant Honda pulled through and even beat Dodge's Ram by 50 units. February 2012 was the Elantra's last month on top. In fact, February was the last month any car other than the Civic was Canada's best-selling car.
