Canadian car sales are flat in early 2015 as segment leaders like the Hyundai Elantra, Honda Civic, Mazda 3, Volkswagen Jetta, and Chevrolet Cruze posted sharp declines through January and February.
Despite a harsh 34.5% year-over-eyar decline last month and a drop to third on the monthly leaderboard, the Hyundai Elantra remains Canada’s best-selling car through the first two months of 2015. The Toyota Corolla is only 203 sales abaft.

Honda’s Civic, the best-selling car in Canada in each of the last 17 years, is the third-ranked car so far this year. Sales are down 23%.
Premium brand cars are led by the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which slotted into the 17th place quite nicely. The Toyota Camry leads all midsize cars. The Hyundai Accent is Canada’s top-selling subcompact.

Although the SUV/crossover category’s rate of growth slowed severely in February, don’t expect cars to so roundly outperform utility vehicles for the rest of the year. With the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, and Jeep Renegade joining the “SUV” fleet and general disinterest in cars, the gap between passenger cars and utility vehicles could close notable compared with February’s 6250-unit gap.
Reminder: these are year-to-date rankings, but you can sort cars by February 2015 volume by clicking the February 2014 column header, or you can rank them by improvements or declines using the % columns. Or, most importantly, you can list automakers together by selecting the Car column header. At any time, click the Rank column to return to the original format.
