The Honda Civic, Canada’s best-selling car in each of the last 17 years and in the first-half of 2015 and in the most recent month of June specifically, suffered a 7% sales decrease last month.
That 7% decline wasn’t as harsh as the decline endured by the Civic’s overall category. Compact car sales fell 11%, a loss of more than 4000 units compared with June 2014, as especially harsh decreases were reported by the Dodge Dart (down 79%), Ford Focus (down 14%), Hyundai Elantra (down 47%), Nissan Sentra (down 25%), and Volkswagen Jetta (down 17%).

Their smaller siblings, the subcompacts led by the Hyundai Accent, plunged 36% in June 2015, losing nearly 3700 sales as every competitor save for the Toyota Prius C posted year-over-year declines. Non-Toyota subcompacts were down 38%, a 3510-unit loss.
Evidence of movement in the marketplace can easily be seen in the list at the bottom of this page, where urban crossovers like the Mazda CX-3 and front-wheel-drive-only tall hatches like the Kia Soul produced a 63% improvement compared with June 2015, powered by new products and big improvements from established nameplates.

* indicates a vehicle which is also shown in another GCBC segment breakdown.
GCBC isn’t here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you’ll see the Encore and XV Crosstrek are listed with small SUVs, too, and the Acura ILX shown with mainstream cars is also displayed with luxury cars… because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
