The Toyota Camry was Canada's top-selling midsize car in April 2015, a title it last held on a monthly basis in January. The Camry leads the next-best-selling Hyundai Sonata by 582 units heading into May.
Exceptions to the improving trend in April 2015 included the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, and Volkswagen Passat.
The Fusion, Canada's best-selling midsize car in 2013 and 2014, was down 20% both in April and in the first one-third of 2015. Accord volume tumbled 15% in April and is down 26% - a loss of 1403 sales – year-to-date. Passat sales slid 29% in April and are down 20% so far this year.
Even if midsize sales aren't healthy in comparison with the relatively recent past, they now appear stronger than at this time a year ago. The 8% uptick through the first four months of 2015 comes as the overall car market fell flat.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the Outback and Venza listed with midsize SUVs, too... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
