15 of Canada's 20 best-selling SUVs and crossovers sold less than half as often as the Escape and RAV4. In a market which suffered a 3.3% decrease in overall Canada-wide volume, nine of Canada's 20 most popular SUVs and crossovers posted year-over-year increases. Through two months, BMW X3 sales are up 86%. During the same two months, sales of the smaller and less expensive BMW X1 are down 65%. The X1 was BMW's best-selling SAV at this time last year, it ranks third in the four-member family this year.
Yet strong sales of the X3 have more than made up for the X1's losses, and the X5's decline, too. Relevance? The BMW X3 was Canada's top-selling premium brand utility last month; the Audi Q5 outsold the Lexus RX by ten units. Just missing out on the February 2013 edition of Canada's 20 best-selling SUVs and crossovers was the 21st-ranked RX, historically the premium brand leader in the utility vehicle category. 46 of the 449 RXs sold were hybrids.
GoodCarBadCar published the list of Canada's 20 best-selling cars earlier this evening. All 13 trucks were ranked earlier this week. Sales figures for these 20 best-selling SUVs - sales figures for any current vehicle - can be found by making a selection at GCBC's Sales Stats page. That's where you'll find, for example, that Mazda only began selling the CX-5 last February, which explains the huge year-over-year increase.
