January 2015 Canada Passenger Car Sales Rankings – Top 141 Best-Selling Cars In Canada – Every Car Ranked

Predictably, car sales in Canada decreased in January. The 3% loss from January 2014 levels brought about total market share for passenger cars of just 36.6%, down from 39.1% in January 2014.

From leaders like the Honda Civic (which fell 31%) to midpack cars like the Chevrolet Sonic (which slid 41%) to high-end, low-volume luxury cars like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (down 51%), decreased volume for specific nameplates were common in Canada in January 2015.

But there were cars that improved upon their January 2014 totals. The top-selling Hyundai Elantra jumped 15% to its best January ever. 

The second, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth-best-selling cars contributed an extra 2112 sales as the Volkswagen Golf more than tripled its January volume, as the Honda Fit nearly tripled, and as the Toyota Camry, Canada’s best-selling midsize car last month, jumped 61%.

But the trend that suggests car sales in Canada will form a smaller and smaller portion of the overall industry’s volume is a longstanding one. Moreover, even if car sales increase, it’s unlikely that they’ll increase as rapidly as pickup trucks (up 10% in January) and utility vehicles (up 2% in January).

Reminder: these are January 2015 rankings, but you can sort cars by January 2015 volume by clicking the January 2014 column header, or you can rank them by improvements or declines using the % columns.
