Large SUV Sales Figures In Canada - April 2013 And Year-To-Date

1966 Chevrolet Suburban

Market share distribution in Canada's tiny full-size SUV market was rather evenly distributed in April 2013. Each vehicle accounts for 14.3% of the nameplates on offer. The leading Ford Expedition owned  20.9% of the segment. Market share for the lowest-volume vehicle, the Nissan Armada, was a not terrible 10.1%.

Compare that with Canada's minivan category, where the leading Dodge Grand Caravan's market share in April was 53.2% and the lowest-volume product, the Nissan Quest, owned just 0.4% of the minivan category.

Of course, four of the seven mainstream brand, full-size, truck-based SUVs available are marketed by General Motors. And they really are identical, two vehicles on each wheelbase. As a quartet, their share of the large SUV market in April 2013 was 57%, down slightly from their year-to-date market share total of 60%.

Commercial Van Sales Figures In Canada - April 2013 And Year-To-Date

Compared with March, April 2013 Canadian sales of the Nissan NV200 jumped 4900%. Wow, eh.

Nissan Canada sold 50 NV200s in April, up from their first NV200 in March. Things are getting going, for sure. The smaller NV accounted for 35.5% of total Nissan commercial van sales in April. (And it easily outsold the Quest minivan.) Ford's smaller van, the Transit Connect, though wildly more popular than the little Nissan, accounted for 26.9% of Ford commercial van sales last month.

Minivan Sales Figures In Canada - April 2013 And Year-To-Date

In a minivan market which plunged once again in April 2013, 53% of Canada's market for people carriers was owned by the Dodge Grand Caravans; 65% belonged to the Grand Caravan and its Chrysler Town & Country sibling.

Like seven other vans on sale last month, Grand Caravan sales declined on a year-over-year basis. Its decline was certainly not the worst, however. 

Chevrolet Orlando sales plunged 70%, the Kia Rondo was down 77%, and three other vans posted worse declines than the class-leading Grand Caravan. One of those vans was another Grand Caravan copy, the soon-to-be-defunct Volkswagen Routan.

In March, Chevrolet sold fewer Orlandos than in any month since its abbreviated beginning month, September 2011. But Orlando sales fell further in April, and at just 182 units, it accounted for just 2.3% of the marker for seven-seats-that-aren't-SUVs. That's down from 13.5% in October 2012.
