Volvo XC90 Canadian sales are up 45.2% in May.

According to estimates by local consultancy DesRosiers Automotive, the Canadian new light vehicle market endures an 8th consecutive month of year-on-year decline in May at -1.7% to 184,000 units in what is traditionally the biggest month of the year. The year-to-date tally is now down -4.5% to 768,000. Sales of carmakers still reporting monthly results are down -1.8% to 82,419 for the month and off -4.1% to 326,731 year-to-date. The SAAR stands at 1.78 million which is the lowest so far this year. According to DesRosiers, in May the first 2,910 Chinese EVs arrived in Canada under the new trade agreement, although the majority of these will not be seen in the sales numbers until June.

Among OEMs still reporting monthly, Toyota Motor is up 4%, Hyundai-Kia up 1% and Honda Canada down -3%. Brand-wise, Volvo (+12%) and Genesis (+10.4%) are the most dynamic followed by Toyota (+6.7%), with Hyundai (+0.8%) and Kia (+0.7%) stable. Mazda (-21%), Acura (-17.2%), Lexus (-13.6%) and Subaru (-12%) are all hit very hard while Honda (-1.4%) limits its fall. Looking at models with available monthly data, the Toyota RAV4 progressively reduces its YoY drop from -79.3% in February to -13.2% this month, again above its archenemy the Honda CR-V (-0.4%). However the CR-V has a 4,386 unit advantage YTD. The Hyundai Tucson (+19.8%), Kia Sportage (+22.7%) and Toyota Tacoma (+34.7%) impress below.

Taiwan May 2026: Toyota Corolla Cross, RAV4 and Tesla Model Y dominate

Toyota RAV4 sales are up 49.5% in May.

33,076 new cars hit Taiwanese roads in May, a 3.7% year-on-year improvement. This is still a poor performance as May 2025 was off -23.1% on the year prior. The year-to-date tally is now off -2.3% to 160,917. Toyota (+10.2%) outpaces the market to reach a round 30% share, in line with the 30.9% it commands year-to-date. Sister brand Lexus (-3.9%) stays in 2nd place while Tesla surges (+804.1%) is up 9-fold to land at #3 with 6.4% share. CMC (-21.4%) and Mercedes (-5.2%), both in difficulty, follow. Mazda (+27.2%), Mitsubishi (+19.6%) and Honda (+8.8%) also shine below.

Over in the models charts, the Toyota Corolla Cross (+30%) is a distant leader at 11.8% share ahead of the Toyota RAV4 (+49.5%) now invigorated by its new generation. The Tesla Model Y (+3235.8%) shoots up to #3 and now ranks #4 year-to-date vs. #6 over the Full Year 2025. The CMC J Space (-25.5%) is knocked down to #4 while the Toyota Yaris Cross (+15.8%) rounds out the Top 5. The Honda HR-V (+593.1%) catches up on lost time at #8 but the CR-V (-91.3%) craters and falls outside the Top 70. Finally it’s another Top 10 finish for the new Ford Territory at #9.Β
