Hyundai Santa Cruz Sales in Canada
Canada opened at 930 units across the 2021 half year, peaked at 3,682 in 2022 and held 3,544 in 2023 before easing to 2,574 in 2024. The reported 2025 total is 1,643, but the monthly record changes character abruptly at midyear, falling from 272 in June 2025 to 34 in July and staying in the 30s and 40s for the rest of the year, and the 2026 record shows only 6 units across the first six months. That pattern is far more consistent with a reporting or ingestion gap than with a genuine collapse in demand, so the Canadian figures from July 2025 onward should be read as provisional pending a data refresh.
