Canadian sales of the Ford Explorer continued to soar in August 2015.
The Explorer’s 59% year-over-year expansion produced an extra 732 sales for the Ford brand in Canada last month as Ford clears out remaining 2015 Explorers and launches the restyled 2016 Explorer.

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 Wrangler and Xterra listed with small SUVs, too, and the Subaru Outback shown 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.
