Yet recently the 3er’s chief rivals have likewise fallen in 2014, the Audi A4 only slightly; the Mercedes-Benz C-Class more sharply as the brand prepares to introduce a new C.
But there are new alternatives on the rise. Cadillac ATS sales rose 62% to 349 units in July. Lexus sold 339 copies of the IS.
Smaller premium players are also having an impact, as Mercedes-Benz’s CLA topped 300 units for the fourth consecutive month in July, and Audi Canada sold more than 200 A3s for the third consecutive month.
60% of BMW’s July volume stemmed from the 2-Series, 3-Series, X1, and X3. Mercedes-Benz generated 51% its non-Sprinter July sales with its four entry-level models: B, C, CLA, and GLK. 72% of Audi’s sales originated from the A3, A4, and Q5.

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 XC70 listed with luxury SUVs and the Acura ILX with mainstream 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.
^ Acura combines sales figures of the outgoing RL with the new RLX. Mercedes-Benz’s Canadian sales figures combine the E-Class with the CLS-Class. Audi Canada’s A4 sales figures include sales of the Allroad. We await, as per the norm, divided data for the S60 and V60.
^ Total Infiniti G/Q50/Q60 sales:
‡ The XTS, K900, and Equus aren’t listed here because they’re not massive – they are – but because their price points position them much more closely to, for example, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class than the S-Class. Genesis sales figures here do not include sales of the Genesis Coupe (as Hyundai’s U.S. Genesis sales figures do), making the comparison with premium brand vehicles much more valid.
