2016 Year End Canada SUV And Crossover Sales Rankings - Top 101 Best-Selling SUVs In Canada - Every SUV Ranked

Automotive

SUVs and crossovers accounted for precisely 40% of all new vehicles sold in Canada in 2016. As the Canadian auto industry reported record new vehicle sales for a fourth consecutive year, much of the credit belongs to this category. 

Led by the Toyota RAV4, SUVs/crossovers added 71,000 sales in 2016, year-over-year, for an industry that grew by 50,000 sales. The RAV4 alone was up by 6857 units, a 16% gain that far outpaced the segment's 10% growth rate.

2016 was the RAV4's first ever annual sales victory in the SUV/crossover sector in Canada. Helped along by the second-ranked Ford Escape's 2% drop, the RAV4 outsold the usual Ford leader by roughly 204 units per month. 

Together, the RAV4, Escape, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and Jeep Cherokee – the five top utility vehicle nameplates in 2016 – earned more than one-quarter of all SUV/crossover sales. They lead a group of the 20 most popular utility vehicles in which only six sold less often in 2016 than in 2015.

The Ford Explorer, despite a 2% decline matching the Escape's downturn, was Canada's best-selling three-row utility vehicle, 2311 sales ahead of the Toyota Highlander. Leading all premium brand utility vehicles was the 29th-ranked Audi Q5, sales of which increased in a seventh consecutive year as Audi launches the second-generation Q5 in 2017.
