Buick Canada Sales Figures & Recent Highlights

Sales in Canada have indeed declined since 2004. In 2004, 2005 and 2006 the brand shipped 20,803, 24,151 and 21,280 cars respectively. In 2007 sales declined a lot, dropping to 15,899 units with a slight uptick in 2008 to 17,078 cars only to see a 20 year low of 8,438 cars shipping in 2009. It is easy to blame the financial crisis but the reality is that the product range sucked. Since then things have picked up, with Buick’s cars improving and their sales results following suit, with the company shipping almost 20,000 units a year in Canada.

The Buick Enclave was the best-selling Buick model in Canada in Q1 2023, with 1,628 units sold. The Enclave was followed by the Buick Encore GX, with 1,241 units sold, and the Buick Envision, with 1,075 units sold. The Buick Encore was the only Buick model to see a sales decline in Q1 2023, with sales down 69.5% from 3,900 units sold in Q1 2022 to 1,180 units sold in Q1 2023.

The strong sales performance of Buick Canada in Q1 2023 was driven by a number of factors, including the introduction of new models, such as the Buick Encore GX, and the popularity of the Buick Enclave. Buick Canada also benefited from the strong Canadian economy, which has led to increased demand for luxury vehicles.
