Richmond Hill, ON. BMW Group Canada (BMW and MINI brands combined) reported sales of 9,390 vehicles for the third quarter of 2021.  This figure represents an increase of 7.1% per cent compared to the same period last year.  Year-to-date, BMW Group Canada has sold 26,702 units, up 23.2% per cent year-over-year.

“I’m very proud of how our organization, along with our valued retail partners, have successfully navigated the challenging first three quarters of 2021,” commented Reiner Braun, President and CEO of BMW Group Canada. 

“Initiatives we’ve collaborated on with our retail network and our Financial Services partners – such as the MyBMW App and MINI App, which allow our customers to intuitively engage with our brand, their vehicle and their retailer from the convenience of their phone – are benefiting both our retailers and our customers.  These innovations are generating positive momentum across the country.  From new and pre-owned sales, to increases in customer satisfaction scores, we are experiencing pre-pandemic levels of performance and, in many cases, exceeding our previous achievements in the core business measures.  For example, our M Performance brand sales are at an all-time high and represent the largest percentage of our total new car sales globally for the BMW Group.  Also setting all-time sales records are our electrified vehicles.  With a portfolio of eight unique models, led by the BMW X5 xDrive45e plug-in hybrid, our EV sales have increased six and half times versus the previous year.”

“Globally, The BMW Group has made substantial investments into electromobility and has self-imposed some of the most stringent sustainability targets in the premium automotive segment as we strive to build the greenest premium car.  This will have a positive impact for the Canadian market as we prepare the retail network and our customers for an expanding portfolio of electric products and services.” 

“The next milestone for Canadians will be the arrival of the fully-electric BMW i4 and BMW iX.   With Canadian media recently reporting on both vehicles’ new level of driving dynamics, appealing aesthetic, and ranges of up to 475 kilometres, it’s not surprising Canadians have already placed online deposits for approximately 50 per cent of our allocation in 2022.  This enviable position allows us to focus even more on our customers and ensure we are living up to their expectations of us as a brand, company and retail network,” concluded Mr. Braun.

BMW’s luxurious line-up of passenger sedans enjoyed a strong third quarter in 2021.  The BMW 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series and 5 Series all enjoyed gains over the same period in 2020, with the  BMW 4 Series up nearly 50 per cent, and the 5 Series up more than 57 per cent.  The brand’s range of Sports Activity Vehicles and Sports Activity Coupes also performed well, with the BMW X3 and BMW X5 up nearly 28 per cent each compared to Q3 of 2020.  For the second straight quarter, sales of electrified BMW models increased more than six-fold.

With the global announcement to become an exclusively electric brand by 2030, MINI introduced the 2022 MINI Electric Collection for the MINI Cooper SE, which is now available for pre-order.
