Abstract

The percentage of small utility vehicles in the total sales of light-duty vehicles with the model year 1990 is shown for the populated areas. Light-duty vehicles include all cars and light trucks. There are significant spatial variations in the market share of small utility vehicles with the model year 1990 across Canada. Relatively high market shares are found in parts of British Columbia, while Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the southern Quebec have the lowest market shares of this vehicle class. It also appears that, proportionally, more small utilities are used in rural areas than in urban areas. However, Vancouver is an exception given that small utility vehicles are very common.
