Small And Midsize Luxury Car Sales In Canada November 2014 YTD

As the number of entry luxury car nameplates increases, so too does the volume generated by the overall entry luxury car segment. November sales of cars like the BMW 3-Series, Audi A3, Lexus IS, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class jumped 20% in Canada.

Lexus began selling the RC coupe last month as a partner to the IS and GS sedans. 41 of the 56 sold were RC350s, the other 15 were 467-horsepower, $80,800 F models.

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 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.
^ Acura combines sales figures of the outgoing RL with the new RLX. Mercedes-Benzs Canadian sales figures combine the E-Class with the CLS-Class. Audi Canadas A4 sales figures include sales of the Allroad.
‡ The XTS, K900, and Equus arent listed here because theyre 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 Hyundais U.S. Genesis sales figures do), making the comparison with premium brand vehicles much more valid.
