Australia's top-selling vehicles in the year 2023
Top Selling Cars in Australia for 2023
The Toyota RAV4 emerged as the top-selling car in Australia for 2023, leading the vehicle sales charts by a significant margin throughout the year. The Ford Ranger ute, on the other hand, outperformed the Toyota Hilux and RAV4 year-to-date, aiming for a third consecutive year as Australia's best-selling vehicle by volume.
The Toyota Hilux, despite slipping to second place, still posted impressive sales figures with 61,111 units sold in total, including 48,995 4x4 models. The Mazda CX-5 followed closely behind with 23,083 sales, although this represented a decrease from the previous year's 27,062 units.
The Hyundai Tucson, another popular choice, saw an increase in sales, with 21,224 units sold in 2023, up from 17,870 in the previous year. The MG ZS, including the ZST and ZS EV, also recorded a significant increase in sales, with 29,258 registrations in Australia, up from 22,466 in the previous year.
Interestingly, the Toyota LandCruiser Prado sold 20,710 examples in 2023, marking the first time a passenger vehicle hasn't appeared in the Top 10 for annual sales in Australia. This shift in preference towards SUVs and utes is reflected in the top 10 list, which also includes the Isuzu D-Max in third place with 31,202 sales in 2023, and the Mitsubishi Outlander in sixth place with 24,263 registrations.
The Tesla Model Y, Australia's top-selling electric vehicle in 2023, managed to beat the popular Mitsubishi Outlander and Mazda CX-5, recording 28,769 sales, an impressive increase from the previous year's 8717. A hybrid Tucson will join the local line-up in mid-2024 at the same time as its mid-life facelift.
Chinese brands like GWM, Chery, and BYD are increasingly impacting sales, but mostly outside the top 10 in 2023. The exact ranked list of the top 20 selling cars in Australia for 2023 is not available in the provided search results, but it is expected to be dominated by SUVs and utes, reflecting Australia's preference for these vehicle types in recent years. For a precise ranked list, consulting official Australian automotive sales data sources or detailed industry reports would be necessary.
