Canada Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - August 2015 YTD
3-Series sales did, however, decline on a year-over-year basis in August. The 20% drop came as C-Class volume jumped 60%. August was the fourth consecutive month in which Canadian sales of the 3-Series declined, year-over-year.
Among premium utility vehicles, the Audi Q5 led in August, as it leads on year-to-date terms. Q5 sales rose 10% last month; its year-to-date pace is marginally ahead of 2014's eight-month pace.
Among vehicles with base prices above CDN $50,000, the Mercedes-Benz M-Class – soon to be renamed GLE – led the way in August. SUVs/crossovers claimed the five top positions and 12 of the top 15 spots.

For the purposes of the above list, premium brands include Acura, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volvo. Brands like Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Lotus don't report specific monthly sales data. Maserati only reports brand totals. Buick has been excluded with a bunch of other automakers that don't sell vehicles with base prices higher than $45K.

^ Mercedes-Benz Canada's figures combine the E-Class with the CLS and the S-Class with the CL.
$50,000 CDN (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, but if GCBC was to follow this new system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, $50K seemed like a safe place to begin - it equals the average U.S. new car transaction price plus $15,000, plus another $5000 to account for Canadian increases. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $50,000 - M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically - but in the case of this list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced below $50,000.

Top 15 Best-Selling Luxury Vehicles In Canada - August 2015
For the second consecutive month, BMW Canada's 3-Series ate into the Mercedes-Benz C-Class's year-to-date lead as Canada's best-selling luxury car in 2015.
Canada Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - August 2015 YTD
The C-Class led the 3-Series by 1030 units at the halfway point of the year, but that lead now stands at a more manageable 810 units. Manageable for the 3-Series, that is.
The 3-Series is consistently Canada's best-selling premium brand vehicle, but needs to outsell the C-Class by an average of 203 units per month over the course of the fall and early winter in order to maintain its best-selling status.
Among premium utility vehicles, the Audi Q5 led in August, as it leads on year-to-date terms. Q5 sales rose 10% last month; its year-to-date pace is marginally ahead of 2014's eight-month pace.
Among vehicles with base prices above CDN $50,000, the Mercedes-Benz M-Class – soon to be renamed GLE – led the way in August. SUVs/crossovers claimed the five top positions and 12 of the top 15 spots.
