Large Luxury Car Sales In Canada - March 2014 YTD

Sales of the Audi A8 and Porsche Panamera more than doubled in Canada during the month of March 2014. BMW's 6-Series and 7-Series both posted meaningful improvements, as well. The Jaguar XJ and Lexus LS, for a change, did not record year-over-year declines.

But it was the Mercedes-Benz S-Class that set the sales standard in Canada. With 101 sales, the S-Class was more than four times as popular as the A8, nearly three times more popular than the 7-Series, more than twice as popular as the Panamera, and more than six times more popular than the Lexus LS.

Less costly rivals from less prestigious automakers don't come remotely close to selling as often as the S-Class. (We display a trio of these big cars with more similarly-priced midsize luxury cars.) Kia sold its first three K900s in March 2014. Hyundai Equus sales were level at seven. Cadillac XTS volume was down 42% to 49.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts. Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not made available in Canada. Tesla doesn't release a monthly Model S sales report, either. ANDC estimates for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce and Tesla were 17, 5, 6, and 50, respectively, in March. Total Maserati and Bentley volume is reported, but not by specific models.
