how many cars sold in australia 2022

Australia sold 1,081,429 new vehicles in 2022, according to the industry bean counters, which is brisk business even by sausage-sizzle standards.

Toyota led the brands, and the Toyota HiLux topped the charts, with the Ford Ranger nipping at its steel-bumpered heels.

SUVs and utes did the heavy lifting while passenger cars continued their quiet shuffle to the exit.

EVs finally woke the neighbours, taking roughly 3% of the market for the year, led largely by Tesla.
