Car Sales By Brand Nameplate Canada : 2014

Nissan Canada is presently riding on a Rogue wave

2014 secured the 5th consecutive increase in car sales, a record looking over the history I have. As you can see by the colours used in the chart to define region of origin, US and Japanese brands dominate the top places. The first Euro brand comes in at 13th.

Ford is easily the top nameplate, a place it has held consecutively since 2009. It has been often number one before that too. The F-Series Pick up was the biggest seller for the blue oval. There wasn't much change for most brands, but there are a few exceptions. Nissan had a very good year, thanks to the Rogue model increasing strongly and the Micra's arrival, which also sold well. Jeep jumped two places, most of that because of the Cherokee model. Audi had a good year with a big increase in A3 sales, while Land Rover did well with the RR Sport to gain a 22% increase. All you can do with Tesla sales is guess, and there is variance with different sources. One thing is for certain with Tesla is that weak petrol prices will be a challenge for the company.
