Our Take On The Numbers
Despite the woes at Jeep in July, the SUV and crossover market still managed to come out of the month with 5.2% year-on-year growth overall.
That’s testament to the resilience of this growing chunk of Canadian vehicle sales – that a major brand can take a severe hit for the month and the influx of new models and strength of others in the segment can persistently uplift the segment as a whole.
The top-selling SUV for the month – and indeed the year so far in Canada – the Honda CR-V increased its sales by 19.6% year-on-year, helping push back against the headwinds.
The Volkswagen Tiguan, part of VW’s renewed SUV line up, saw sales shoot up 67.1% year-on-year. To date, the Tiguan has almost doubled its sales compared with this point last year.
Nissan’s Qashqai continues to impress too; sales were up 45.4% in July, as its usually dominant bigger brother the Rogue saw sales fall for the month – although on a daily selling rate (DSR) basis, the Rogue actually improved compared with last July’s performance.
