While the first part of the year was undeniably complicated for automakers, and for everyone else, the Canadian soft vehicle market began to improve. Some automakers published almost record-breaking months and the sector was one of the most productive Julys of all time.
A 75% year-on-year decrease in April led to a decrease of only 44% in May and about 15% in June, resulting in a 4.9% minimisation in July 2020 from July 2019. Or, on the contrary, positive direction, sales increased by 147% from May to April, 37% in June and 6.2% in July, all according to DesRosiers Automotive Consultants.
This raises the July figure to about 165,020 vehicles, which is smart enough by July 7 of all time for Canadian sales.
For some automakers, sales increases were even more impressive. While many have switched to quarterly knowledge rather than monthly knowledge (some replace the pandemic), we have highlights and knowledge from various manufacturers.
Hyundai Canada recorded retail sales, i.e. sales to consumers and fleets, with an increase of 20.5% from July 2019 to 2020, reaching 12702. The overall increase of the company was 1.7% with 13,272 sales.
“Retail sales are the main driving force behind brand expansion and profitability. Our robust sales functionality and the really large increase in our market percentage this month result in us being the ones to observe,” said Ken Maisonville, Director of National Sales. Hyundai Canada. Hyundai said its sales targets were even exaggerated. Highlights come with the Ioniq with sales up to 47% and surpassing the segment, as well as with the Kona’s 2915 sets, up 40% and, according to Hyundai, almost double the moment in its class.
Mazda reported sales of 7044 in July 2020, 6.2% more than in the same month of 2019, issuing that sales for the year have still fallen by 24.4%. THE CX-5’s sales were the highest in the brand, with 2,901 (an increase of 5.4% and its most productive July in history) and the new CX-30 crossover is firmly the company’s second most productive crossover in sales with 1,055. It turns out that it will catch up with the Mazda3 at the end of this year, which has fallen 49.7% during the year and 24% this month.
Volvo reported a 23% year-on-year increase in retail sales expansion, which helped it mark the company’s month since 1999 for retail sales. Volvo’s total sales of 1,012 in July marked an impressive year-over-year expansion of 11.8 cents, and were 22 cents more than in June.
“This is a sign of recovery in an exceptionally challenging environment that we can characterize to the determination of our Volvo customers, equipment and stores across the country,” said Matt Girgis, CEO of Volvo Cars Canada.
Subaru Canada recorded the most productive July and the third most productive sales month in history with 5,678 units. It’s the most productive month of all time for the Quebec logo and outback, with a most productive July of all time in the Canadian Atlantic and the most productive July for Ascent, Crosstrek and Forester. The total stood at 10.1% above July 2019, with Ascent up to 39% to 407. Subaru’s most sensible distributor, the Crosstrek, in 1459.
While some of the uptick in sales is possibly the result of a repressed call even though it all achieved the exhibit floors, Canadian automakers were sometimes positive in their sales reports that, as the overall pandemic continued to pick up, so would the return of new vehicle sales in Canada.
