Current Automotive Market Conditions in Canada — Updated March 2026

Editor’s note (March 2026): This page now reflects the Bank of Canada’s March 18, 2026, rate decision, the launch of the federal Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP) (replacing iZEV), and the federal pause/review of the 2026 ZEV sales‑mandate start. We always provide on-the-ground advice for consumers looking to buy/lease/trade-in, or sell their vehicle, and how you can leverage your CarCostCanada membership to achieve your goals.
