Large SUV Sales In Canada - March 2017

Canadian sales of full-size SUVs jumped 16% in March 2017, a record-setting March for the industry. After sales of these same seven large SUVs decreased marginally through the first one-sixth of 2017, first-quarter volume ended up rising 5% because of strength in March, led by the Ford Expedition and GM's short-wheelbase large SUVs.

Combined, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon owned 39% of the market. Combined, the Tahoe, Yukon, and their long-wheelbase siblings owned 60% of the market. Ford's long-wheelbase Expedition's sales figures are included by Ford in the Expedition total.

March 2017 YTD U.S. SUV And Crossover Sales Rankings - Top 101 Best-Selling SUVs In America - Every SUV Ranked

U.S. sales of SUVs and crossovers jumped 9% in March 2017, holding fast to a trend set throughout the first-quarter of 2017. No vehicle sector – not vans, not trucks, not cars – garners more sales activity in the United States today than the utility vehicle market, which accounted for 41% of the overall industry in 2017 Q1.

Passenger car market share, meanwhile, fell from 41% in 2016 Q1 to 37% so far this year. While most of the most popular cars in America are selling far less often this year than last, the best-selling Nissan Rogue and its three top-selling cohorts have all made improvements.

Together, the Nissan Rogue, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape have already added 64,409 sales to the ledger in 2017, year-over-year. In March 2017 alone, the Rogue, CR-V, and RAV4 were up by nearly 21,000 units.

Whether the Rogue can maintain this unbelievable momentum throughout the course of the year depends on the degree to which Nissan is content to incentivize the top-ranked utility vehicle, the degree to which the new Rogue Sport (aka Qashqai) eats into its volume, and the degree to which new and refreshed vehicles like the CR-V and Mazda CX-5 carve out greater market share.
