Canadian auto sales reached record levels in May 2014. This is why.
SUVs and crossovers added more than 9000 sales to the industry's total last month as car sales fell by 2% and pickup trucks contributed fewer than 2000 more sales than in May 2013. Minivan sales were also up by 1030 units.

• All 142 Cars Ranked By May 2014 YTD Canadian Sales
• All 249 Vehicles Ranked By May 2014 YTD Canadian Sales
Big improvements were achieved virtually across the board, from the segment-leading Ford Escape's 13% increase to the surging Volkswagen Tiguan's 1620-unit increase and even an extra 601 sales from GM's full-size SUV quartet. The GMC Yukon XL ranked 69th among SUVs and crossovers at the end of April, but after a very high-volume May in which the Yukon XL outsold all but 35 SUV/CUV nameplates, it now ranks 57th year-to-date.
New to the fleet in May were smaller utility vehicles from Porsche and Lincoln, the Macan and MKC. Availability of the Lincoln wasn't properly realized in late May, but the Macan did rank 64th in the May results, behind the Range Rover Evoque and Mazda CX-9 but ahead of the dying Toyota FJ Cruiser and Ford's soon-to-be-revamped Expedition.
Although the Macan ate into Cayenne sales in the U.S., Canadian Cayenne volume was up 5.4% in May 2014. It was Canada's 51st-best-selling SUV last month.

There were exciting improvements introduced in October's rankings of SUV/crossover sales. Prior year figures now include the actual numbers from last year, not just the percentage increases/decreases from last year. As a result, we now include vehicles like the Jeep Liberty and Suzuki Grand Vitara, nameplates which collected sales during the first five months of 2013 but not during the same period one year later.

Reminder: these are 2014 year-to-date rankings, but you can sort vehicles by May volume by clicking the May 2014 column header, or you can rank these SUVs and crossovers by improvements or declines using the % columns. Or, most importantly, you can list automakers together by selecting the SUV/Crossover column header.
