Mazda has already managed to produce 2014 sales of the CX-9, the company's flagship and most expensive new vehicle, through the first ten months of 2016. Only once, way back in the first-generation CX-9's first-ever sales year, 2007, has the admittedly low 2000-unit mark been crested.

But the 2117-unit record set in the nameplate's first year is sure to be broken in 2016, and likely by the end of November.

We reviewed the 2016 Mazda CX-9 back in June, giving credit to Mazda for the CX-9's on-road behaviour, torquey engine, second row seat space, and a hugely attractive exterior design. The CX-9 nevertheless remains an outside-the-box choice for Canadian family SUV buyers who typically veer toward the Ford Explorer and Toyota Highlander.

Huge gains at opposite ends of the spectrum – BMW X1 and Audi Q7 – helped to power the overall sector forward as typical powerhouses such as the Audi Q5, Lexus NX, and Mercedes-Benz GLE failed to move the needle forward.

Through the first ten months of 2016, the Audi Q5 is Canada's most popular premium brand utility vehicle. 

That's a scant 106 sales ahead of the Lexus RX, a traditional favourite south of the border.
