Large Car Sales In Canada – November 2015 YTD

As GM Canada approaches the launch of the third-generation Buick LaCrosse, sales of the current model enter free-fall mode. Even before Buick introduced the new LaCrosse at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Canadian sales of the LaCrosse were declining. But November sales slid 48%.

Is it enough that the new LaCrosse is a stunning, righteously Buick sedan? Across North America, consumers are losing interest in full-size sedans, opting instead for very roomy and more affordable midsize cars or three-row crossovers. Consider the fact that the LaCrosse and all its competitors generated only 1408 Canadian sales in November 2015 while the highest-volume midsize car, the Honda Accord, produced 1306 Canadian sales on its own.

Year-to-date, much of the segment’s increase has been powered by the launch of a new Nissan Maxima and the clear-out of older Maximas.

Sales of the LaCrosse, Impala, 300, Taurus, Genesis, and Avalon have all declined through the first 11 months of 2015.

* Genesis refers only to the sedan, not the coupe. For Canadian purposes – Hyundai USA doesn’t yet breakdown sales figures for the sedan and much less costly coupe – the Genesis will now be shown with both these volume brands, with which Hyundai is a direct competitor, and midsize luxury cars, with which the Genesis competes.
