Canada’s passenger car market took a 9% hit in April 2017 despite continued growth from the two top-selling cars in Canada.
The Honda Civic, on track to end 2017 as Canada’s best-selling car for a 20th consecutive year, posted a 4% uptick in April and is up 17% – or 3113 units – so far this year.

Toyota Corolla volume rose 4% last month and is up by more than 2600 sales so far this year. The Civic and Corolla, both which hatchback variants that weren’t part of the Civic/Corolla lines a year ago, account for one out of every five new vehicles sold in Canada.
Many of their competitors are fading fast.
Take the Hyundai Elantra, Canada’s third-best-selling car. Elantra sales are down 21% this year, a loss of 3322 sales for Hyundai Canada’s dealers. The best-selling midsize car in Canada, Toyota’s soon-to-be-replaced Camry, has already lost more than 1500 sales in 2017’s first four months.
