At the group level, General Motors edged Ford Motor Company for the top automaker position at 290,517 versus 278,579 units, while Hyundai-Kia Auto Group’s combined 225,412 units narrowed the gap on Toyota Motor Corp’s 238,934.
Canada’s Top-Selling Brands
Several brands posted standout growth in 2024. Volkswagen surged 29.2%, Tesla jumped 47.2%, Subaru gained 30.6%, and Mazda grew 23.2%. The common thread was available inventory; brands that resolved supply chain constraints fastest captured pent-up demand. On the other side, Stellantis brands struggled, with Ram declining 21.2% and Jeep falling 20.4% as the group managed a broader strategic reset across North America.
