Vehicle sales up slightly in January

DesRosier Automotive Consultants saw some stability in December sales of light vehicles in Canada.

Total sales reached an estimated 109,265 units, a 0.5% increase over January 2019 when 108,774 units were sold.

The consulting company reports that passenger car sales continued to struggle, down 17.2% for the month but light truck sales managed to overcome this decrease—if only just—with their own 6.3% increase. With this continued disparity, passenger cars accounted for just 20.5% of total January 2020 sales while light trucks claimed 79.5%, closer than ever to an 80/20 split in the market.

In total, 12 vehiclebrands recorded sales increases for the month with three remaining relatively stable
