Feature: Global Bestsellers 2014 - Autos.ca
When it comes to best-selling vehicles, most people should be reasonably aware of Canadians’ preference for the Honda Civic and Ford F-Series. Even our neighbours to the south share the big Ford’s appreciation, but car-wise, prefer the larger Toyota Camry. But what about the hundreds of other countries around the world. Heading south to Mexico is a pretty Canadian thing to do in the winter, so why not start there. And like plenty of other regions, cars that have come and gone to Canada are still sold in Mexico. The Chevrolet Aveo is the best-seller for third-straight year with 65,394 units sold. The Nissan Versa and ancient Nissan Tsuru – basically an early ‘90s Sentra sedan — held onto the other podium places. As expected, that cramped vehicles sales in 2014 with around a third fewer sales year-over-year. Small basic hatchbacks are always a favourite, including Volkswagen’s regionally built Gol Trend winning with 29,667 sold. Toyota’s legendary Hilux pickup is second with 27,635 and Renault Clio Mio third despite losing a fifth of its sales year-over-year. Source: www.autos.ca
