ICYMI: Canada's 10 best-selling auto brands at the end of 2022's Q3 — via drivingdotca bestselling
As 2022 wears on, the auto industry is increasingly creating two divergent stories. On the one hand, there are the traditional so-called domestics: Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and the artist formerly known as Chrysler Group. Combined, the trio of Detroit grabbed 42.1 per cent of the market in 2022’s first nine months, and with an 18-per-cent year-over-year sales increase in the third-quarter, drove July-September market share up to 44 per cent.
The degree to which the mere availability of full-size pickup trucks alters this unusual Canadian auto landscape can’t be understated. One out of every five vehicles sold in Canada during 2022’s first nine months were full-size trucks; 96 per cent of those trucks were Fords, Chevrolets, GMC, and Rams. With drastically improved access to those four model lines alone, the post-pandemic supply-constricted auto industry has been turned on its head.
Compared to 2021’s first three-quarters, Canadian auto sales have fallen by roughly 150,000 units this year, a drop of more than 11 per cent. The market is tracking toward a calendar-year total of fewer than 1.5 million sales, likely the lowest-volume year since 2009. Midst those totals, these are Canada’s 10 best-selling auto brands in 2022.Article contentUp three spots from its position one year ago, Jeep dramatically outpaced the market during the first three-quarters of 2022.
