Sharp declines are the order of the day for luxury automakers selling cars in Canada.
In June 2016, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz – the three highest-volume premium auto brands in Canada – reported huge decreases with the A5, A8, 3-Series, 4-Series, E-Class, and S-Class.

Premium brands which don’t sell as many cars – Lexus and Cadillac, as examples – suffered across-the-board passenger car sales increases in June. Lexus car volume was down 30% because of double-digit losses from the CT, ES, GS, IS, LS, and RC. At Cadillac, car sales slid by a third despite the addition of the CT6 sedan because of 154 lost sales from the ATS, CTS, ELR, and XTS.
The CT6 isn’t the only new luxury car on the block, however. Jaguar Canada began selling their new entry-level XE sedan in June.

Overshadowed by the arrival of the F-Pace SUV which outsold the XE by more than five to one last month, the XE may nevertheless prove to be a formidable rival for traditional German luxury sedans, if for no other reason than the fact that it’s different.
Thanks to our source at Global Automakers of Canada, we are now beginning to receive Maserati sales by model. Maserati reported 40 Ghibli sales in June.

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.
^ 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.
‡ 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.
