australia car sales 2022

Australia shifted about 1.08 million new vehicles in 2022, despite supply chains behaving like a dropped box of Lego.

Toyota topped the charts (roughly 230k sales), with the HiLux the best-selling model and Ford’s Ranger playing trusty sidekick.

SUVs carried the load with just over half the market, utes grabbed a chunky slice, and passenger cars kept politely fading into the background.

EVs finally stirred—around 3% of sales—with Tesla’s Model 3 headlining, proving silence can be both swift and smug.

In short: demand strong, supply patchy, and Aussies still adore anything with a tray, a roof rack, or both.
