Top 10 Best-selling Trucks and SUVs in Canada, First Half of 2022
As we reported last week, 768,743 new light-duty vehicles have been sold since the start of 2022 according to the Automotive News Data Center, a drop of 11.5 percent from the same period in 2021.
Why? Because of the microchip shortage and other supply chain issues affecting vehicle production and deliveries, of course. The month of June was the worst in 13 years.
The immensely popular SUVs and pickups further increased their share of the Canadian market, now accounting for an unprecedented 82.7 percent. Here are the top 10 best-selling models in the first half of 2022, only one of which managed to avoid a slump.
