Top 20 Best-Selling SUVs In Canada - January 2015


2015 Nissan Murano
For the first time since March 2013, the Toyota RAV4 was Canada's best-selling SUV/crossover. The Ford Escape, Canada's typical leader, slid into second spot after a 5% year-over-year drop.

The Honda CR-V, Canada's top-selling utility vehicle in each of the two previous months, fell to fourth spot, although CR-V volume was healthier in January 2015 than in the same period a year ago.

Unusually placed in the top 20 in January was the Nissan Murano. The third-generation of Nissan's wildly-styled two-row crossover began arriving at Nissan's Canadian dealers last month. The Murano likely won't report 275% year-over-year increases for long, but don't be surprised if we see a burst through the first quarter. The Murano was the 39th-best-selling utility vehicle in Canada in calendar year 2014.

If you prefer to think of the Subaru Outback as an SUV rather than a car, it would have ranked 18th in this group with 615 January sales, a 48% YOY improvement.
