Minivan Sales In Canada - March 2017

Canadian sales of minivans jumped 25% in March 2017, surging as the industry surged despite a poor start to the year for the minivan sector in which sales fell 3% through the first two months of 2017.

Led by the Dodge Grand Caravan, which jumped 48% to 5459 units for a nine-month high, sales of MPVs rose by 1806 units. The Honda Odyssey tanked during a sell-down in the lead-up to the launch of the all-new 2018 Odyssey later this spring. Sales of Kia's Rondo mini-MPV likewise plunged.

Chrysler, meanwhile, finally began to produce meaningful Canadian sales numbers with the Pacifica.

Put it all together with a big Sedona increase, a sudden Mazda 5 uptick, and an 18% Toyota Sienna jump and Canadian minivan sales topped 9000 units in March 2017.

Led by the surging Dodge Grand Caravan – future unknown – minivan volume was down by nearly 11,000 units compared with March 2016. Sales are fully down by a fifth so far this year.

Will new models help? The 2018 Honda Odyssey is due in showrooms soon. Media drives take place in Hawaii in early May. The 2018 Toyota Sienna, the refreshed version of 2015 and 2016's best-selling minivan, is just that: merely a refresh. Pictured above, it'll reach dealers later this year.

After six consecutive months of decline, big boosts from the Dodge Grand Caravan and Mazda 5 powered the category forward to a 5% gain in February. 

Sharp losses from the Kia duo and 11% drops from both the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey tamped down growth.

The Chrysler Pacifica, likewise, has not yet proven capable of selling (at its much higher MSRPs) as its predecessor, the Chrysler Town & Country. Year-over-year, Chrysler minivan sales were down 35% last month.

But the value-oriented Dodge Grand Caravan grew its market share to 54% among MPVs and 59% in its "full-size" minivan segment. Grand Caravan sales are up by a tenth so far this year.

The Mazda 5, meanwhile, now appears to be officially dead. There could be a handful of units left on dealer lots yet to appear as sold in Mazda's ledger. But February 2017 was the first month in which Mazda USA failed to report a single sale of the company's mini-minivan.
