Top 20 Worst-Selling Vehicles In America - March 2017

In the lead-up to the now ongoing launch of the all-new, second-generation Jeep Compass, the disappearance of the outgoing Jeep Compass caused the Jeep Compass to be America's worst-selling vehicle in March 2017, the third consecutive month in which the Compass's year-over-year decline was worst among volume vehicles.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles products also ranked second and seventh on the list. Both of those vehicles, the Chrysler 200 and Jeep Patriot, have been officially killed off. 

GCBC has also compiled lists of the 20 worst-selling vehicles in America regardless of volume and the 20 lowest-volume vehicles. But it's the higher-volume vehicles that caused the overall market to decline modestly in March 2017. The 20 vehicles on the first list below – Compass to TLX – combined to lose 70,575 sales in March 2017, year-over-year.

Top 20 Worst-Selling Vehicles In Canada - February 2017

Canadian sales of the Toyota Tundra rose to a nine-year high in calendar year 2016. The Tundra remained a low-volume player compared with the Detroit Four — F-Series, Ram, Sierra, Silverado — claiming only 3% of the overall Canadian pickup truck. But for an ancient design, the Tundra was a surprisingly successful truck last year.

Against that backdrop, Tundra sales through the first one-sixth of 2017 are down 39% compared with the January/February period of 2016. And in February 2017, continuing January's downward trend, Tundra sales were chopped in half. Tundra volume tumbled 51% to only 449 units, only 1.8% of the Canadian full-size pickup truck market and only 1.7% of the truck market overall. 

As a result, among volume vehicles, the Tundra was the worst-selling new vehicle in Canada. 

The Toyota Tundra was the least efficient new vehicle GCBC has ever tested.
