Canada Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - 2016 Year End
The Ford Fiesta, after nearly seven years on the market, tumbled 45%, year-over-year, to 3093 sales in 2016. This was the fifth consecutive year of decline for the Fiesta. Measured this way, the Ford Fiesta was the worst-selling vehicle in Canada.
The GMC Acadia, replaced in late 2016, ranked second. The Chrysler 200, discontinued in 2016, plunged 36%. Cars claimed 17 of the 20 top spots during a year in which Canada's passenger car market share tumbled to just one-third of the industry.
