Small And Midsize Luxury SUV Sales In Canada - February 2017

With premium brands earning an inordinate percentage of Canadian auto industry market share in the early part of 2017, it's no surprise to see luxury SUVs and crossovers earning an especially healthy part of that growth.

Subcompact luxury utility vehicles jumped 29% through the first two months of 2017, led by double-digit percentage increases from the BMW X1 and top-selling Mercedes-Benz GLA.
