New light vehicle sales are up 2% year-on-year halfway through 2013 in Canada to 884,618 registrations. Even more so than in the US, pick-up trucks are pulling the market up. While in 2012 it delivered the best ever annual volume for any vehicle ever on sale in Canada, the Ford F-Series is up a further 17% on this record after 6 months in 2013 to 61,677 sales, improving its market share from 6.1% to 7%! The Dodge RAM does even better, up a crazy 19% year-on-year to a record 41,907 units and 4.7% share…

The Dodge RAM delivers its strongest ever first half sales in Canada.

As we have seen in the June update, the fight for the title of best-selling Passenger Car in Canada has not been that close in over a decade: the Hyundai Elantra leads for now, up 13% to 28,863 sales, but the Honda Civic, #1 for the last 15 consecutive years, is only 305 units below at 28,558 (-11%)… The Dodge Grand Caravan is in difficulty at -15% to #5, while the GMC Sierra and Toyota Corolla remain #6 and #7 respectively.

VW Jetta sales are up 23% year-on-year so far in 2013.

Other great performers in Canada over the period include the Ford Escape up 13% to #8, Toyota RAV4 up 36% to #11, VW Jetta up 23% to #14, Hyundai Santa Fe up 22% to #16, Ford Fusion up 26% to #18, Honda Accord up a whopping 162% to #24, Mazda CX-5 up 44% to #25, Kia Rio up 28% to #26 and Nissan Sentra up 45% to #28. There are 3 all-new models in the Top 100: the Dodge Dart at #47, Chevrolet Trax at #63 and Subaru XV Crosstrek at #85.
