Acura Canada Sales Figures & Recent Highlights
- 2022 Canada Acura Sales –Honda’s upmarket Acura brand is in the midst of a product revolution. There was a new RDX for 2019, a new TLX sedan for 2021, a fourth-gen MDX for the 2022 model year, and a reincarnated Integra for 2023. But more important than new product is available product, and Acura — like Honda — spent 2022 woefully short on product. Acura car sales slipped 22 per cent; its two crossovers combined to fall 33 per cent, a decrease of nearly 4,300 units.
- Prior to 2022 Canada Acura Sales – Acura’s Canadian sales have hovered around the 20,000 units per year range since 2004. Peak sales were in 2004 with 22,543 cars sold in Canada. A steady decline of 3-5% followed till the financial crisis saw sales drop almost 12% in 2009 to a low of 17,088 units. A small 1.47% increase in sales in 2010 was more than offset with a 12% drop in 2011, when sales dropped down to a 20 year low of 12,272 units sold in Canada. Acura got things right with the SUV and crossover strategy in 2012 and sales started to pick back up, showing double digit growth for 2012 and 2013 with modest low single digit growth in 2014 and 2015. Since then things have stayed flat with Acura shopping ~20k cars a year in Canada for 2015, 2016 and 2017 and 2018. We don’t expect to see big changes in Acura’s Canadian sales volume as they are in-market with largely the same product mix.
