Top 20 Best Selling SUVs In Canada September 2014

2014 Toyota RAV4 green
Ford Canada sold more than 5000 Escapes for the fifth consecutive month in September 2014 and thus outsold the surging Toyota RAV4 by 779 units. Year-to-date, the RAV4 trails the Escape by more than 13,000 units. 


• Canada Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - September 2014 YTD
• Canada SUV/Crossover Sales Rankings By Model - September 2014 YTD


Canadas four top-selling utility vehicles collectively reported a year-over-year monthly improvement of 43% in September, a gain of 4597 units. At this time last year they accounted for 7.1% of all September new vehicle sales in Canada; that figure rose to 9.0% in September 2014.

Only four of Canadas 20 top-selling SUVs and crossovers failed to report year-over-year improvements last month, including the fifth and sixth-ranked Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and Dodge Journey. 

The aging Journeys decline, 12.5% through the first nine months of 2014, is more than made up for at Chrysler Canada by the Jeep brand, where sales are up 60% this year. 24% of the vehicles sold by the Chrysler Group in 2014 have been Jeeps, up from 16.3% during the same period last year.

Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these best-selling SUVs and crossovers can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBCs Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well. GoodCarBadCar has already published the list of Canadas best-selling trucks in September and will shortly publish a list of Canadas most popular cars.

Midsize Car Sales In America September 2014 YTD

2015 Chrysler 200
Americas midsize car market was far more impressive in September 2014 than in the earlier part of the year. But the growth in the midsize category was far less impressive than that which was experienced by the overall new vehicle market, sales of which jumped more than 12%.

September 2014s top-selling midsize car, and best-selling passenger car overall, was the Honda Accord, the Accords second consecutive month on top of the leaderboard. Toyota Camry sales dropped 11% in September, but with a slight increase through the first three-quarters of 2014, the Camry leads the Accord by more than 30,000 sales so far this year.

Hyundai and Kia combined for 25,826 Sonata and Optima sales in September, a 1% improvement. Chryslers new 200 was up 15%, but when taking the defunct Avenger into account, total Chrysler Group midsize car sales were down 14%.

Mazda reported their best September for the 6 since 2005. Subaru Legacy volume more than doubled to the highest monthly Legacy sedan output in the nameplates history. The pair nevertheless combined to own just 5.9% of the midsize sector.

Priced in the same stratosphere as these conventional midsize cars are exclusively hybrid and electric cars like the Toyota Prius and Nissan Leaf. Sales of those cars were down 8% in September 2014. A trio of tall wagons - Outback, Venza, Crosstour - slid 20% even as the leader of the pack, the Outback, reported its best September ever.

GCBC isnt 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 youll see the Outback and Venza listed with midsize SUVs, too... 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.

Commercial Van Sales In America September 2014 YTD

2015 Chevrolet Express
Americas commercial van segment grew faster than the industry as a whole despite a 10% decline in total Ford commercial vans in September 2014. Overall new vehicle sales were up 9.4%; commercial van sales jumped 11.2%.


• All Makes & Models Ranked By September 2014 YTD U.S. Sales


USA commercial van sales chart September 2014
Click Chart To Expand
The trio of smaller commercial vans - Transit Connect, NV200, Ram C/V - were up 38.2% as the Transit Connect reported a 30% increase and NV200 sales more than doubled. The trio accounted for 22.9% of all commercial van sales. (Notably, Ford does not break down the Transit Connect cargo van and Transit Connect Wagon figures.) 

Full-size vans, led by the Chevrolet Express in September, were up 5.1% to 18,995 units. The traditional leader, Fords E-Series, is rapidly winding down: sales fell 37.8% last month, and the new Transits 1225-unit performance did not make up the deficit.
