The GCBC Analysis
When you look at the manufacturer level in terms of sales in Canada, you’ll notice that it doesn’t look very good. Most of the companies experienced fewer sales for the month of September and when you look YTD.
There are only four companies that managed to see sales increases for the month of September. They are FCA, Hyundai Kia Auto Group, Daimler, and Volvo.
There was the same number of companies that have seen sales rise so far this year. They include Toyota, Hyundia Kia Auto Group, Tesla, and Volvo.
It’ll be interesting to see how the next few months go. With many of the number YTD being low sales decreases, there’s still time to turn things around.
Below you will find Canadian sales figures for all of the major auto manufacturers broken down by month and by quarter. Manufacturers differ from brands, for example, Ford Motor Co manufacturers both Ford and Lincoln brands. If you are looking for Canadian auto sales by brand check out this page instead.
