Top 15 Best-Selling Luxury Vehicles In Canada - October 2016

2016 BMw 3-Series sedan
Historically Canada's preeminent luxury car, the BMW 3-Series has faded in recent months in concert with the latest Mercedes-Benz C-Class's rise. The C-Class, for example, was Canada's top-selling luxury car in 2015 and leads through the first ten months of 2016 by 1612 units.

But year-over-year, the BMW 3-Series reported a 37% Canadian sales increase in October 2016, driving into four-digit territory for the first time since November of last year. The 3-Series outsold the C-Class by 334 units in October. 

Lexus's RX was the top-selling premium brand utility vehicle; the top-selling $50K+ vehicle overall.

^ Mercedes-Benz Canada's figures combine the E-Class with the CLS and the S-Class with the CL.
$50,000 CDN (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, but if GCBC was to follow this new system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, $50K seemed like a safe place to begin - it equals the approximate average U.S. new car transaction price plus $15,000, plus another $5000 to account for Canadian increases. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $50,000 - M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically - but in the case of this list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced below $50,000.
