This is where the party's at.
Although a relatively small number of pickup truck lineups generate nearly as many sales, although compact cars attract a larger number of sales, small utility vehicles form the corner of the market from which Canada's auto industry is being propelled to record levels.
• All 249 Vehicles Ranked By May 2014 YTD Canadian Sales
• All 86 SUVs & Crossovers Ranked By May 2014 YTD Canadian Sales
Escape-class crossovers accounted for nearly one out of every five new vehicles sold in Canada in May. Sales of these vehicles jumped 18%, having risen 17% through the first five months of 2014. The Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4 own 33% of the market.
The vasrt majority of available nameplates are selling far more often this year than last, from the Chevrolet Equinox, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-5, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan Rogue, Subaru Forester, Volkswagen Tiguan, and the Escape and CR-V.
Canadians registered 10,500 more new vehicles in May 2014 than in May 2013. Extract all the vehicles from this post from that equation and the market was up by fewer than 4300 units.

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 why you'll see the Encore and XV Crosstrek are listed with small cars, too, and the tweener-sized Sorento and Santa Fe are shown with midsize SUVs and small SUVs, and the pricey FJ Cruiser and Xterra with midsizers, as well... 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. GCBC has historically shown the Liberty with midsize SUVs but as the Cherokee - truly not midsize inside - replaces the Liberty, proper year-over-year comparison requires seeing the Liberty listed here with these smaller utility vehicles.
