Top 15 Best-Selling Luxury Vehicles In Canada - February 2014

2015 BMW X4
Surprised? Of course you aren't. The BMW 3-Series was Canada's top-selling luxury brand automobile in February 2013.

After the Mercedes-Benz C-Class claimed the top spot in January, BMW was not going to sit idly by. In fact, February C-Class volume plunged, not unpredictably in advance of a new model's arrival.

3-Series sales fell 5% in February 2014, but that year-over-year comparison displays the current 3-Series four-door family against the whole 3-Series lineup from last year, a lineup which included the cars which are no labelled with the 4-Series badge. 

Combine February 2014's 3 and 4-Series totals and 3/4-Series sales were actually up 13% last month.

BMW's X5 ranked second among premium brand vehicles in February thanks to a 210% YOY improvement. Utility vehicles sat in 11 of the top 15 spots for luxury vehicles, joined as they were by the 3-Series, A4, C-Class, and Lexus's IS. Among vehicles with base prices beyond $50K, nine of the 15 top sellers - including the top three - were SUVs. Surely the X5, pictured above, won't be as popular as the X5. Surely. Please.

Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these top-selling luxury vehicles can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBC's Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well.

Red font indicates year-over-year declining sales
* A4 sales include sales of the unreported Allroad. BMW also sold 113 copies of the 3-Series two-door, now known as the 4-Series.
^ Mercedes-Benz Canada's figures combine the E-Class with the CLS and the S-Class with the CL.
$50,000 CDN (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, but if GCBC was to follow this new system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, $50K seemed like a safe place to begin - it equals the average U.S. new car transaction price plus $15,000, plus another $5000 to account for Canadian increases. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $50,000 - M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically - but in the case of this list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced at $35,900, as would be the case with the BMW 320i, which costs less than a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0T Limited. The biggest problem with a $50,000 minimum price of entry? Cars like the Cadillac XTS, which starts at $48,940, sporty cars like the $49,500 Audi TT, and SUVs like the $49,990 Acura MDX. Volkswagen recently increased the base Touareg's price to $50,975; GM jacked up the base Tahoe/Yukon price up to $51,580. The new Cadillac CTS sedan's base price is above $50,000, but not the base price for other cars in the CTS lineup. Yet.
Total Infiniti G/Q50/Q60 volume: up 72.1% to 265 in February, up 74% to 503 YTD.
