Honda Civic Reclaimed Title of Canada's Best-Selling Car in 2024
Honda Civic Reclaimed Title of Canada's Best-Selling Car in 2024The Honda Civic regained its status as the best-selling car in Canada in 2024, with 31,774 units sold, well ahead of the Toyota Corolla, of which 25,988 sold to Canadian buyers. The data from Detroit's Automotive News Research & Data Center shows a strong comeback after two difficult years for Honda.
In 2022, the Corolla dethroned the Civic, ending 24 years of uninterrupted reign. The Toyota maintained its lead in 2023, taking advantage of the production delays and supply problems that were holding Honda back.
Stabilized production and a winning hybrid version
Honda has overcome the logistical challenges of the last two years. According to Honda Canada spokesman John Bordignon, “we've seen a marked improvement, with fewer production delays and better access to parts and markets.
The introduction of a hybrid version of the Civic, produced at the Alliston, Ontario plant since June 2024, has been a decisive factor. This version accounted for almost 60% of Civic retail sales in the second half of the year.
Higher prices, but perceived value intact
Despite higher prices in the wake of the pandemic, Canadians continued to embrace the Civic. The base model of the 2025 Civic starts at $29,806 (delivery included), an increase of almost 50 percent over the 2020 model.
