Large SUV Sales In America August 2014 YTD

2015 Chevrolet Suburban
In part because of a 17% Ford Expedition sales decline in the lead-up to the Expeditions replacement for the 2015 model year, GMs four full-size SUVs were the full-size SUV segments four top sellers in August 2014.

The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban led the way; the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL were not far behind. Together, the four GM brutes owned 82.9% of the category, up from 74.1% a year ago. 

All three of their direct rivals from Ford, Nissan, and Toyota posted year-over-year declines. (Yukon XL volume is down 4% year-to-date.) Of course, these vehicles have rivals which wear premium badges, as well, particularly the Denali versions of GMCs Yukon. One such rival is the Cadillac Escalade. 

From the regular-wheelbase and Escalade ESV trim, Cadillac generated 21% of the brands volume last month. Combined, the six GM full-size SUVs were responsible for 9.4% of GMs U.S. sales volume in August.

Large SUV Sales In Canada September 2014 YTD

2015 GMC Yukon silver
81.9% of the full-size, volume-brand sport-utility vehicles sold in Canada in September 2014 were GM products, Suburbans and Tahoes and Yukons and Yukon XLs. Canadian sales of the quartet jumped 86% as their share of the category grew from 71.1% a year ago.

GM owned 86.8% of the category in August 2014.

The Tahoe and Yukon, GMs two shorter-wheelbase full-size SUVs, were the major players, outselling their respective long-wheelbase siblings by 4-to-1 and 1.9-to-1.

Combined with the Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, GMs full-size SUV family generated 4% of GM Canada volume last month. 

Meanwhile, Ford sold 91 Expeditions, Max-inclusive. Nissan Armada volume fell by one unit to 51. Toyota Sequoia sales slid 36% to a worst-in-segment 42 units.

Large Luxury Car Sales In Canada January 2015

2015 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe
Canadian sales of flagship luxury cars took a nosedive in January 2015 as the segment-leading Mercedes-Benz S-Class slowed dramatically in comparison with January 2014, when it was still newly launched.

But it wasnt just the S-Classs fault. The BMW 7-Series, Jaguar XJ, Lexus LS, and Porsche Panamera all declined, as well. BMWs 7% 6-Series uptick equalled just two extra units, and Audi A8 sales were flat. 

(The 6-Series is included in this post because of its price and its sedan emphasis. Mercedes-Benz CLS sales are not reported in Canada, and we therefore dont bother including the Audi A7 in this space, leaving it with its A6 platform-sharing partner in the midsize luxury post.)

Regardless, it says something about the S-Class that even with a 51% year-over-year decline, it still sold more often than the A8, 7-Series, LS, and Panamera combined.

GCBC isnt here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts. Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not made available in Canada. Tesla doesnt release a monthly Model S sales report, either. ANDC estimates for Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce were 7, 18, 10, and 9, respectively, in January 2015. Tesla sold 123 cars in December. Total Maserati volume is reported, but not by specific models. GCBC shows the Cadillac XTS, Hyundai Equus, and Kia K900 with midsize luxury cars not because of their size, but because the price points are much more directly comparable.

Large Car Sales In Canada November 2014 YTD

2014 Kia Cadenza
Canadian sales of volume-brand large cars continued their steady decline in November 2014 thanks to especially massive year-over-year drops from the Chrysler/Dodge duo and the Chevrolet Impalas seventh monthly decrease of 2014.

The disappearance of many Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sales (not terribly surprising given a major model year transition) opened up an opportunity for the Ford Taurus to end November as Canadas top-selling big car. The 300 leads on year-to-date terms; the Charger ranks second.

Kias Cadenza continues to be a rare sight on Canadian roads. Only 13 were reported sold in November. In the Cadenzas best ever Canadian month, September 2013, the total only climbed to 47 units. GCBC reviewed the 2014 Kia Cadenza in the summer of last year.

Large Car Sales In America October 2014 YTD

In an improved passenger car market – sales rose 3% across the category – the large, volume-brand car category slid 8% in October 2014, brought down by the Chevrolet Impala, Dodge Charger, Hyundai Azera, Kia Cadenza, and the Ford Taurus most especially.


• U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - October 2014 YTD

USA large car sales chart October 2014
Click Chart To Expand
Civilian Taurus volume fell 40% to 3019 units. Impala volume was 3.5 times stronger. Ford also sold 756 Taurus Police Interceptors, though that figure represents a 24% decline. (Ford Explorer Police Interceptor sales jumped 20% to 2041 units in October.)

From the low end to the high end, October simply wasnt a great month for these big cars. Model year changeovers can impact the totals achieved by a car like the Dodge Charger, refreshed for MY2015, but sales slid 11%, the third month in the last five in which Charger volume has fallen. 

Meanwhile, the Chevrolet SS experienced its second-lowest full month total since arriving a year ago. Only September, when 111 were sold, was worse. GM dealers are sitting on a relative glut of SS inventory. There are nearly 600 in stock right now, according to Cars.com, and Automotive News says GM had a 195-day supply at the beginning of October 2014.

Large Car Sales In Canada January 2015

2016 Toyota Avalon
Canadian sales of full-size, volume brand cars dropped 2% in January 2015, a modest 13-unit decline for a category which plunged 17% in calendar year 2014 and 20% in 2013.

Increases were reported across a broad cross-section of the category, from the two GM nameplates to the four "import" nameplates, as well. 

The Dodge Charger, though down 14%, led the class with 213 sales. Its sibling, the Chrysler 300, helped FCA earn 41% of the categorys sales.

But the overall numbers are nevertheless staggeringly low. These nine cars generated less than 1% of all new vehicle sales activity in January. Combined, they sold less often than the Honda Fit.

For MY2016, the Toyota Avalon is receiving a slight rejig. That wont change the fact that Canadians dont want Avalons, nor do they want to drive big, non-premium-brand cars at all.
