Midsize luxury car sales in Canada didn’t look very good at all. The segment was down considerably for the month of November. When you look at the YTD sales the segment was down but not by as much as November’s numbers would have you expect.

The segment was down by about 2,000 sales when compared to the month of November last year. The segment was down only about 1,000 sales when you look at the YTD numbers.

November was especially bad. A huge part of the decline in sales was the Tesla Model 3 it was down by an even 80 percent when compared to November of last year. However, it wasn’t the only model down. All but two models on sale saw sales decline in November.

When you look YTD, the segment fared better, but the vast majority of vehicles still saw sales decline. We’d expect similar results in December. We also don’t expect this segment to fare well in 2020.

Data will trickle in throughout the day with the numbers being finalized by EOD. GCBC is also happy to announce that we will be adding quarterly sales reports and comparisons in addition to monthly sales comparisons beginning this quarter. We will also be adding monthly sales tables and charts to the mix as well.

Note: FCA US LLC will end its practice of reporting U.S. and Canada sales on a monthly basis following June results. FCA US and FCA Canada will report monthly sales for May and June. The first quarterly report will occur on October 1, 2019, covering the months of July, August, and September.
