Automakers reported a 3% rise to nearly 110,000 Canadian new vehicle sales in February 2015, equal to more than 3500 more sales than there were in February 2014.
• Canada Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - February 2015 YTD
Canada's top-selling brand in February was Ford, but the 9% drop at the Blue Oval - not nearly offset by a 138% Lincoln increase - combined with a 1% increase at FCA/Chrysler Canada for the six-pronged FCA lineup to grab the number one spot for the second consecutive month. Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and Ram combined for 18,711 sales, 3690 more than Ford and Lincoln.
Aside from Lincoln and Mini, Canada's fastest-growing volume auto brands in February were Chrysler, GMC, Volkswagen, Nissan, and Toyota, all of which produced gains of at least 20%. On the flip side, Smart, Buick, Mitsubishi, Cadillac, Volvo, and Dodge all generated 15% (or worse) February declines.
Canada's top premium brand in February was BMW, 23 sales ahead of Mercedes-Benz (when Sprinter vans are excluded.) Joining BMW and Mercedes-Benz with above-average Canadian improvements last month were Lincoln, Lexus, Acura, and Porsche.
January and February don't typically account for much more than 10% of a year's worth of Canadian auto sales. With winter bearing down on Canadians in a special way last month, it's entirely possible that March and April figures could appear especially healthy if demand from the early portion of the year was hidden away by drifts and snow banks.
