Counter to conventional thought, Canadian sales of small luxury crossovers are decreasing in 2014. March volume slid 4% after February sales fell 3%. First quarter sales were down 2%.
If we subtract the BMW X3 from the equation, sales are actually up 10%. (The X3 was the class leader at this time last year.) But more than four in ten BMW SAV buyers are opting for the bigger, more costly X5 this year.
Meanwhile, sales of the Land Rover LR2 and Range Rover Evoque are down as Land Rover sells more LR4s and Range Rover Sports. The Mercedes-Benz GLK is down 13%; Mercedes-Benz's bigger M-Class is up 26%. Sales of the Volvo XC60 are down slightly, as are sales of the XC70, but combined sales of the XC60, XC70, and new-to-Canada V60 are up 28%.
Plenty of premium SUVs and crossovers are being sold, of course. The Audi Q5 is tied for the lead with the BMW 3-Series as Canada's top-selling premium brand vehicle. Land Rover's March volume was up 25% year-over-year, up 59% from March 2012, 149% compared with March 2011, and 195% from March 2010. (Their Discovery Vision Concept that was introduced in New York this week, pictured above, is a preview of the LR4's replacement.)
From the Acura MDX to the Porsche Cayenne, sales of luxury utility vehicles in the second table are up by more than 2000 units in 2014.

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, right? This explains you'll see the XC70 listed with luxury cars as well as with SUVs and crossovers and the Touareg with luxury SUVs and mainstream SUVs... 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.
