The decline would have been much sharper, but sales of the most popular cars in Canada are soaring in early 2017. February sales of the Honda Civic, Canada's best-selling car in 19 consecutive years, jumped 37% to 3921 units.

Canada Pickup Truck Sales By Model - February 2017
Canada Minivan Sales By Model - February 2017
The Toyota Corolla, which like the Civic now encompasses a hatchback variant, rose 36% to 3469 units. Together, those two cars generated one in five Canadian car sales and added nearly 2000 sales to a sector that lost more than 1100 sales.
Take away the Civic and Corolla gains and Canadian passenger car volume would have fallen 8% in February 2017.

Canada Car Sales Rankings By Model - February 2016 YTD
Numerous new cars, cars that mostly remain low-volume contenders, were added to Canada's passenger car fleet in February 2017. The Kia Niro is an entry-level hybrid, launched to coincide with its Hyundai Ioniq corporate sibling. The two are thoroughly differentiated, with the Niro playing the crossover card. (It's a wagon – the Niro is low and doesn't offer all-wheel drive.)
The Volvo V90 and Alfa Romeo Giulia collected their first Canadian sales in February, as well.

* Italicized unranked lines are nothing more than available breakdowns, already included in the model's total, not in addition to the model's total.
² Total Prius Family sales: down 25% to 317 in February; down 13% to 617 YTD.
† Mini Cooper includes sales of the Hardtop, Convertible, Clubman, Coupe, Roadster, and Paceman.
