March 2015 YTD Canada Passenger Car Sales Rankings - Top 143 Best-Selling Cars In Canada - Every Car Ranked

All four of Canada's best-selling cars posted year-over-year sales declines through the first three months of 2015. The Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Toyota Corolla, and Mazda 3 combined for 36,418 sales in 2015's first-quarter, a 3810-unit, 9.5% decrease.

The class-leading Civic's decline has been most notable, as the Civic failed to finish January and February as the country's best-selling car - it ranked first overall in each of the last 17 years. Civic volume is down 16%, a loss of 1949-unit loss over three months. March sales dropped 8%.

The decline of this foursome is certainly a drag on Canada's overall passenger car market. Subtract the Civic, Elantra, Corolla, and 3 from the equation and Canadian car sales are up 1.4% rather than down 1.6% with the top four trio included.

The Volkswagen Golf is a big part of the expansion among the less popular cars. The Golf ranks seventh overall, and sales have grown by more than six times in early 2015.

Another built-in-North America German car, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, is Canada's top-selling premium brand car in 2015. C-Class volume is up 57%. Both the Golf and C-Class were released in all-new form in the last year. GCBC reviewed the C400 4Matic in November. Reviews of the Golf 1.8 TSI and the Golf GTI were published in November and January, respectively.
