The Volkswagen Jetta Ranked 13th In 2011 But 15th In 2012 |
By the ANDC's count, 46.1% of the new vehicles sold in Canada in 2012 were passenger cars, up from 44.8% in 2011. FoMoCo, Chrysler, and General Motors were responsible for 44.5% of the Canadian auto industry's volume in 2012, down from 47.2% in 2011. Honda and Toyota, along with their sub-brands, grew their Canadian market share to 20.3% in 2012 from 18% in 2011, nearly accounting for all of the Detroit Three's lost market share.
That's the industry covered. Moving back to this list of the 30 best-selling vehicles in 2012, you will once again see the Ford F-Series riding high at the top. Although the Ford brand was up just 0.8% in 2012 and the overall Ford Motor Company posted the narrowest of gains, F-Series volume rocketed to unheard of levels. Sales rose 10.4% to 106,358, the first time any vehicle line has ever found more than 100,000 new owners in a single calendar year in Canada. Ram also sold more copies of its, er... Ram Pickup than ever before. Read more about Canada's best-selling trucks here.

Despite its 0.3% slide, the Ford Escape was still clearly Canada's best-selling SUV in 2012. 10,760 units back sits the 11th-ranked Honda CR-V, sales of which shot up 33% in 2012 to 33,339. Honda sold as many CR-Vs in 2012 as in 2004 and 2005 combined. The Escape was both buoyed and let down by its model transition in 2012: deals on the outgoing model helped; so did the introduction of a new model. But the new model isn't to every buyer's taste, and the first-gen Escape was ancient. Ford will likely hold the best-selling SUV crown again in 2013 - it's the dominant player in Canada - but the surging Hyundai Santa Fe and Honda Canada's desire to promote best seller status could be important factors to consider.
