Among Canada’s 15 top-selling premium brand autos in 2016, the first, fifth, ninth, and fourteenth were passenger cars: C-Class, 3-Series, A4, 4-Series. 

Among Canada’s 15 top-selling vehicles with MSRPs above $50,000, cars were distinctly more rare. Only the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, CLS included, cracked the top 15. 

Ranked ninth, E-Class/CLS-Class sales slid 7% despite the availability of a new design.

$50,000 CDN (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, but if GCBC was to follow this new system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, $50K seemed like a safe place to begin – it equals the average U.S. new car transaction price plus $15,000, plus another $5000 to account for Canadian increases. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $50,000 – M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically – but in the case of this list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced at $35,900, as would be the case with the BMW 320i, which costs less than a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0T Limited.
