Our Take On The Passenger Car Numbers
Passenger Car sales in Canada for the month of December and for the year weren’t fantastic. The top seven models in terms of sales volume all saw decreases for the year, though some did see sales increases in the month of December.
The Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla led the way. Both saw a sales increase in December. The Civic saw a rise of 24.73 percent, and the Corolla saw a sales rise of 50 percent when compared to last year. However, both saw small declines in sales for the year.
New models fared well for the year. The Kia Rio, Toyota Camry, and Honda Accord all saw rises for the year. Other vehicles recently introduced also saw bumps. While people are certainly still buying cars, SUVs seem to be where a lot of the energy is at.
