Canada’s 20 best-selling vehicles generated more than half the auto industry’s September 2013 volume. With Ford F-Series sales jumping 27%, Ram Pickup sales rising 12%, and the Honda Civic’s 8% improvement, the podium finishers all wildly outpaced the industry’s 4.1% growth rate.
The F-Series, Ram, and Civic were responsible for 17 out of every 100 new vehicle registrations in September. America’s three top sellers produced just 11% of the American new vehicle market’s last month.

Four of Canada’s 30 top sellers were pickup trucks; there were eleven cars. That leaves room for one minivan and 14 passenger cars.
Compared with August, the Ford Fiesta and Chrysler Town & Country were knocked out of the top 30 and the BMW 3-Series and Kia Sorento filled the gaps.
Compared with September 2012, the Volkswagen Golf, Toyota Matrix, and Kia Forte are missing in favour of the Honda Accord, Mazda CX-5, and Nissan Rogue.
The Ford F-Series continues as the best-selling vehicle in Canada. Its lead over the second-ranked is now 33,713-units strong.
