May 2012 Large Luxury SUV Sales Chart |
While all six of these cars are profit generators, none are all that visible in the value-driven Canadian market. In May, a wildly successful month for the A8, Audi's biggest sedan accounted for just 2.7% of all Audi Canada sales. The 7-Series delivered just 1.4% of all BMW customers last month. The XJ was the most infrequent purchase in Jaguar's lineup while accounting for 3.3% of all Jaguar-Land Rover volume. Only 0.6% of all Lexus buyers opted for Lexus's biggest sedan. The S-Class and CL-Class jointly brought in 1.9% of Mercedes-Benz Canada buyers in May. Mercedes-Benz sold more SL-Class roadsters, more SLK-Class roadsters, and eight times more M-Class SUVs. The Porsche Panamera is part of a smaller family, but at 14.8% of all Porsche Canada volume, the Panamera sold just once for every 2.8 Cayennes.After the jump you'll find detailed May 2012 and year-to-date sales figures for these luxury cars plus a bunch of large luxury sport-utility vehicles.
