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 at $35,900, as would be the case with the BMW 320i, which costs less than a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0T Limited.

Top 15 Best-Selling Luxury Vehicles In Canada - May 2015
Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi owned more than half the Canadian premium auto brand market in May 2015. The top-selling luxury vehicle in Canada is the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which outsold the BMW 3-Series by 163 units in May and 903 sales through the first five months of 2015.

Audi's Q5 and A4 were the fourth and fifth-best-selling premium brand vehicles in Canada last month. Even the aging A4, set to be replaced in the coming months, was up 15% to 650 Canadian sales in May, even as Audi's real entry-level car, the A3, posted its own 91% gain and - theoretically - stole A4 limelight.
