Richmond Hill, ON. BMW Group Canada (BMW and MINI brands combined) reported sales of 9,419 units in the third quarter of 2026, an increase of +19.9% over the third quarter of 2025. Year-to-date sales are up +2.0% over the same period last year, with BMW Group Canada reporting 26,848 units sold.
“The arrival of the Neue Klasse made the third quarter an exciting time for our retail partners, the BMW Group Canada team and BMW fans nationwide,” stated Andrew Scott, president and CEO, BMW Group Canada. “Both the BMW iX3 and new BMW 7 Series are now in Canadian showrooms, putting the reimagined design language and technology of the Neue Klasse on display. And that’s just the beginning. The new BMW X5 arrives this month, we unveiled the new BMW 3 Series yesterday, and another exciting model announcement is just around the corner. Our retail partners nationwide are preparing to host The BMW Neue Klasse Experience, where each of these vehicles will be introduced, and several can even be driven. Even more new and updated models will be communicated in the months ahead. That is our future, and the future is bright.”
