In December, specifically, gains were propelled most especially by the Ford brand, sales of which jumped 40%. Chrysler, Buick, Lincoln, and Ram improvements were also signficant. The majority of automakers reported double-digit percentage increases.

December was not a typical month for the Canadian auto industry, not even in an atypical year. Honda isnt normally the second-best-selling auto brand in Canada; Ram is not normally the fifth-ranked brand. Ford doesnt normally post massive year-over-year improvements. Alfa Romeo doesnt normally sell cars here. Scion can usually sell more than 138 cars. But as way of topping off a terrific year for the industry, this was an exciting one.

Small And Midsize Luxury SUV Sales In America December 2014 Year End

Growth in Americas small luxury SUV/crossover arena occurred in 2014 with and without the addition of new faces. Subtract the BMW X4, Lexus NX, Lincoln MKC, and Porsche Macan from the equation and continuing nameplates still generated a 5% increase in 2014.

• U.S. SUV/Crossover Sales Rankings By Model - 2014 Year End

However, with assistance from newcomers - vehicles which only help to draw attention to the segment as a whole - sales shot up by more than 35,000 units to 220,125.

That doesnt take into account the smallest newcomers from Audi and Mercedes-Benz. The Q3 and GLA joined the BMW X1 in the entry-level market, helping to drive sales of these compact luxury crossovers up 26% despite the X1s decline; despite coming late to the party. (The Q3 arrived in August; the GLA in September.)

The Acura RDX was Americas top-selling small luxury utility vehicle in the 2014 calendar year. Though Acura lacks the premium standing of some of the RDXs rivals, that hasnt hurt the RDX over the last few years. RDX volume has increased in five consecutive years.

Americas top-selling premium utility vehicle overall, however, is the far more popular Lexus RX. And even in December, with new competition in Lexuss own showroom, the RX produced a 3.5% year-over-year sales gain.

The NX, in its first full month, generated 2905 sales, enough to outsell all small luxury utility vehicles except the RDX and Audi Q5.
