Strong sales of Midsize Luxury Cars boost the market almost 15% ahead of last year’s figures. German luxury saloons the Mercedes-Benz E-Class / CLS and the BMW 5-Series each show significant growth on July 2016’s perfomance, with 333 of the Mercs sold and 218 BMWs in July 2017.
The Audi A5 continues its phenomenal headway in the Small / Entry Luxury Car segment, and looks set to crack 2,000 Canadian sales for the year in August.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class bested combined sales of BMW’s 3- and 4-Series in July and has now sold almost 250 more cars overall than the BMWs in 2017. The coupe and saloon sold 6,582 units in the first seven months, around 4% down on the 6,840 sold by this point last year.

GCBC isn’t here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you’ll see the XC70 listed with luxury SUVs and the Acura ILX with mainstream cars… because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
^ Mercedes-Benz’s Canadian sales figures combine the E-Class with the CLS-Class. Audi Canada’s A4 sales figures include sales of the Allroad.
‡ The XTS, CT6, K900, and Continental aren’t listed here because they’re not massive – they are – but because their price points position them much more closely to, for example, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class than the S-Class. Genesis sales figures here do not include sales of the Genesis Coupe (as Hyundai’s U.S. Genesis sales figures do), making the comparison with premium brand vehicles much more valid.
