Canada's fledgling full-size SUV market plunged 45% in February 2013. Through two months, the market is down 35.9% compared with the same period in 2012; down 15.9% compared with 2011.
While this barely impacts the overall industry - only 259 fewer large SUVs were sold this February than last - it does manifest an exaggerated version of what's going on in the market as a whole. Sales are down slightly in other parts, mainly at import dealers. Chrysler Canada, Ford Canada, and GM Canada have all generated improvements this year.
All Vehicles Ranked By February 2013 & YTD Canadian Sales
In the large SUV sector itself, GM owned 48.3% of the market in February, down from 50.1% in the month before and 57.7% a year ago. Keep in mind, segments this small are subject to huge percentage swings. The results rarely have a significant impact on their respective automaker's totals. Last February, for example, the large SUV market rose 31% even as the overall industry was up just 11.2%.
