September 2014 Canada Passenger Car Sales Rankings - Top 143 Best-Selling Cars In Canada - Every Car Ranked

Canada's passenger car market, unhealthy in a record-setting overall new vehicle industry through the first five months of the year, rose 3.8% in June, 6.1% in July, 1.4% in August, and 2.1% in September 2014.

The Honda Civic accounts for nearly 9% of the Canadian car market and propels much of the growth. Non-Civic car sales were up just 1.8% last month.

The new Toyota Corolla (up 14% this year) is also set to challenge the Hyundai Elantra for the number-two position by year's end, but Corolla sales dropped slightly last month.

Indeed, the majority of top sellers are more successful in Canada this year than they were last year, but smaller players have been a drag on the overall category.

Excluding the 30 top-selling cars from the equation, the lower 80% (which account for just 27% of the car category's volume through the first nine months of 2014) are collectively down 1.8%.

Meanwhile, those 30 top sellers, from Honda Civic to Volkswagen Passat, are up 0.6%.

It is believed that Tesla sold 25 copies of their Model S back in August 2014 (and 467 YTD), but Tesla doesn't issue monthly sales reports. The ANDC estimate for Tesla August sales in Canada was 50 units.
