Small And Midsize Luxury Car Sales In Canada - May 2016 YTD

2016 Cadillac ATS-V sedan white
May 2016 stood out as an especially strong month for Mercedes-Benz Canada's C-Class, Canada's top-selling premium brand car.

But it hasn't been a great start to the year for the C-Class, sales of which are down 21% through the first five months of 2016. Moreover, May wasn't a strong month for luxury car sales. And the beginning of 2016 has proven that the rate at which consumers are fleeing luxury cars in favour of luxury SUVs/crossovers is more rapid than expected.

The overwhelming majority of premium brand cars posted fewer sales in May 2016 than May 2015. Canadian sales of the Acura TLX, BMW 3-Series/4-Series, Cadillac ATS, Infiniti Q50, Lexus IS/RC, Volvo S60/V60, all reported double-digit percentage losses.

Their bigger brethren – Acura RLX, Audi A7, Cadillac CTS, Infiniti Q70, Lexus ES, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and others – posted equally devastating losses in May 2016. Meanwhile, at Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, where premium brand sales are highest, May SUV/crossover volume was up 28%, 27%, and 7%, respectively. 

Wonder if there's a connection.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the XC70 listed with luxury SUVs and the Acura ILX with mainstream cars... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
^ Mercedes-Benz's Canadian sales figures combine the E-Class with the CLS-Class. Audi Canada's A4 sales figures include sales of the Allroad.
‡ The CT6, XTS, K900, and Equus aren't listed here because they're not massive - they are - but because their price points position them much more closely to, for example, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class than the S-Class. Genesis sales figures here do not include sales of the Genesis Coupe (as Hyundai's U.S. Genesis sales figures do), making the comparison with premium brand vehicles much more valid.
