Canada's 10 best-selling large SUVs in 2022's first-half — drivingdotca Autonews
So severe is the shift that most minivans marketed in 2007 no longer exist. Buick Terraza, Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay? General Motors is out. Ford Freestar and Mazda MPV? Long gone. Nissan Quest and Hyundai Entourage? Their obituaries were written years ago. Instead, these automakers are committed to the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Explorer, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, and Hyundai Palisade.
But which of these utility vehicles control the market? We’ve compiled their sales figures to establish the top 10 with a couple qualifying factors. The vehicles must offer standard three-row seating and measure at least 4.9 metres long, a distinction that separates properly vast three-row utilities from smaller SUVs that offer more of an emergency-use third-row.10.
2022 is hardly the year of the SUV for Chevrolet. The Bowtie brand’s seven utility vehicles combined for a 22-per-cent slide in 2022’s first six months, twice the rate of decline experienced by the industry at large. The Traverse, unfortunately, slowed at a far more dramatic rate. The Traverse’s Buick partner, meanwhile, is down 35 per cent in 2022, while the smaller GMC Acadia tumbled 26 per cent to 1,642 units, 55 sales back of the Traverse.
Relaunched for 2022 with much more aggressive bodywork, a far superior transmission, and a modern and refined interior, the new Pathfinder is, not surprisingly, far more popular. To be fair to the old Pathfinder, it was popular as well, at least early on. Between 2014 and 2017, Nissan averaged nearly 10,000 Pathfinder sales per year in Canada, but that figure dropped to only 5,704 in 2019 and tumbled below 4,000 units in each of the last two years.
As Dodge’s Stellantis parent company reported a strong 17-per-cent year-over-year sales improvement in 2022’s second-quarter, Dodge Durango volume grew at an even more rapid rate. April-to-June volume jumped 30 per cent from 2021 levels, making the Durango not only Canada’s sixth-ranked large SUV but also the most popular Dodge. In a lineup once dominated by the Journey and Grand Caravan, the Durango now carries the weight with two Ontario-built passenger cars: the Charger and Challenger.
