Richmond Hill, ON. BMW Group Canada (BMW and MINI brands combined) reported sales of 9,868 vehicles for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of +11% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.  For the year, the Group sold 34,731 vehicles in Canada, a decrease of -2% compared to 2023.

“Together with our retail partners, we successfully navigated several unique challenges in 2024,” stated Andrew Scott, president and CEO, BMW Group Canada.  “It is thanks to their commitment to customer service and our open, two-way communication that we were able to support our customers’ mobility needs, and to achieve the momentum that we did leading into 2025.  I thank each one of our retail partners for their efforts last year.

“Our outstanding range of purely electric and plug-in hybrid models made a positive impact this year, allowing us to put nearly 6,000 electrified vehicles in Canadians’ hands. This means one in five BMW vehicles sold in Canada in 2024 had a plug.

“It was a big year for some of our most sought-after products,” stated Scott.  “The all-new BMW X3 is sure to add another chapter to the model’s 20-year success story.  On the performance side, the legendary BMW M5 arrived on our shores in its seventh generation to the delight of BMW M fans.  The new generation of MINI models were launched in 2024, including an all-electric MINI Countryman, and BMW Motorrad – who established the segment of adventure touring enduros more than four decades ago with the R 80 G/S – sealed its leadership in this segment by launching the all-new R 1300 GS and R 1300 GS Adventure.

“The months to come will be very important for the BMW Group as we prepare to launch the Neue Klasse,” continued Scott.  “The Neue Klasse represents one of the biggest transformations of the BMW Group in its over-100-year-long history.  This change is more than a new design concept; it is an entirely new era for the company.  It impacts all areas of our business from design and development to production and distribution.  The aim is to make individual mobility more intelligent, more human and more responsible with a focus on electromobility, on digitalization and on circularity.  We are looking very forward to bringing the Neue Klasse to Canadians in partnership with our strong network of retail partners.”
