June auto sales up from last year but show declining momentum: report
New cars, left, are parked at a car dealership on Friday, Oct. 11, 2024 in Quebec City. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot TORONTO — DesRosiers Automotive Consultants says June vehicle sales were up from a year earlier but still showed declining momentum. The consultancy says it estimates there were 178,000 light vehicle sales in the month, up 5.3 per cent from a weak June last year. It says however that sales for the month are still down notably from previous highs for the month, including volumes above 200,000 a month in 2017 and 2018. The June sales figure also projects to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.81 million units, the lowest so far this year. DesRosiers managing partner Andrew King says in a statement that the sales total shows continued slowing momentum in recent months compared with a strong start to the year. The consultancy says economic concerns over a trade war with the U.S., along with rising unemployment and declining GDP, mean the market performance was about as good as could be expected. --- This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 3, 2025.

'This overhaul is intended to support a long-term transformation that is sorely needed.'

New Brunswickers can provide feedback by participating in a survey, which is open until Aug. 10. It is available online and by calling 1-833-724-0088.
