Top Level Canada Reports: By Manufacturer / By Brand / By Model / Best Sellers
Midsize SUV sales in Canada looked strong both for the month of October and when you look YTD. This should not surprise anyone. The segment has been on a high for most of the year and many people are buying midsize SUVs.
When you look at the segment from an October perspective you’ll see that the segment is up by about 1,000 units. When you look at the segment from a YTD perspective, you’ll see that the segment is up about 14,000 units.
Leading the pack is the Jeep Wrangler. Although the Wrangler was up nearly 30 percent in the month of October, it was actually down about eight percent so far this year. The model was followed by the Ford Edge and the Hyundai Santa Fe.
We expect the segment to continue to see strong sales results in the coming months and into 2020.
