Minivan Sales In Canada December 2014 And 2014 Year End

64% of the minivans and an even more impressive 72% of the "full-size" minivans sold in Canada in 2014 were Windsor, Ontario-assembled Dodge Grand Caravans and Chrysler Town & Countrys. 85% of the FCA-built twins sold in Canada were Grand Caravans.

Minivan sales improved in Canada in 2014, but the category as a whole lost market share. (The oxymoronically-named full-size minivan subset grew at a slightly faster rate than the overall industry, thus increasing market share.) 5.1% of the new vehicles sold in Canada in calendar year 2014 were minivans and small MPVs, down from 5.2% in 2013. 

The smaller trio of products certainly suffered as Chevrolet Orlando volume tumbled 43% and sales of the still-fresh second-generation Kia Rondo surprisingly slid 12%. 

But the bigger vans were more common this year than last, increasing their collective total by 5856 units despite the loss of the forgettable Volkswagen Routan and the Nissan Quest and slightly slower Toyota Sienna volume through much of the year.

Minivan Sales In Canada February 2015 YTD

Canadas minivan market grew for a third consecutive month in February 2015 as the Windsor-built Chrysler Group/FCA twins increased their share of the "full-size" minivan category to 71% from 68% at this time a year ago.

Despite the 19% decline in Grand Caravan volume, the Chrysler Town & Countrys 84% surge stopped the twins slowdown from declining too rapidly: the 4% drop was on par with the Honda Odysseys decline. 

Instead of the Odyssey, the closest challenger in February 2014, the best-selling non-Chrysler/Dodge van in February 2015 was the Toyota Sienna, which GCBC reviewed last month.

With Chevrolet offering no MY2015 Orlando and the Kia Rondo and Mazda 5 attracting progressively fewer customers, true mini-minivans were down 28% in February to just 633 units, just 9% of the overall segment. For every Orlando, Rondo, and 5 sold in February, Dodge sold five Grand Caravans.
