As reported last week, new light-duty vehicle sales in Canada increased to 1.66 million units in 2021, an improvement of 6.9 percent from a historically bad 2020. However, the global chip shortage and other supply issues are keeping the industry well shy of pre-pandemic totals.

Passenger cars (sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, coupes, convertibles) pretty much maintained their market share at 19.4 percent. What were the best-selling models of 2021? We have the top 10 right here!
