Provincial Disparities Mark June 2025 Vehicle Sales Growth

In June 2025, new light vehicle sales in Canada showed mixed provincial performance, with notable weakness in Western Canada—British Columbia posted only a 0.3% increase, and Manitoba experienced the country’s only sales decline, down 0.2% from June 2024.

In contrast, the Atlantic region remained disproportionately strong despite a weak showing in PEI, while Ontario led central Canada with a 7.4% sales increase and Quebec continued to lag with just a 0.7% rise.

Overall, June marked the smallest sales gain of the second quarter, and first-half results varied significantly across provinces, with Alberta and smaller provinces outperforming Quebec, BC, and Ontario.

Nationally, June sales reached 178,000 units, up 5.3% year-over-year, and first-half sales rose 5.6% to 976,000 units.
