RICHMOND HILL, ON, Aug. 4, 2020 /CNW/ - Mazda Canada Inc. (MCI) today reported July sales of 7,044 vehicles, representing an increase of 6.2 percent versus July 2019. Sales year-to-date (YTD) are 29,625, which is a decrease of 24.4 percent compared to the same period in 2019.
As the economy begins the long road to recovery across the country, Mazda sales have seen a positive shift as consumers return to dealers after months of staying at home. With strong support from Mazda Canada dealers and employees across the country, July marked the second consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases for Mazda vehicles, and the best July sales month since 2010.
"We have poured all of our support behind our dealer partners and employees to keep them safe and keep them working as much as possible throughout the past few months as Canada endured through the pandemic," said David Klan, President & CEO, Mazda Canada. "Our entire MCI and dealer network have responded in kind and deserve great recognition for their efforts to get us back on track and ready to serve our customers at every turn."

- Mazda's best-selling model, the CX-5, enjoyed a 5.4 percent increase year-over-year and the best July sales on record.
