Australian New Vehicle Sales by Manufacturer – November 2025
Australian New Vehicle Sales by Manufacturer – November 2025
Australian new light vehicle sales (including passenger cars, SUVs, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercials) totaled 99,906 units in November 2025, down 1.8% from 101,707 units in November 2024. This slight decline reflects ongoing cost-of-living pressures, high interest rates, and one fewer selling day (24.7 vs. 25.7 days). Despite the dip, the year-to-date market (through November) is up 0.2% at approximately 1,137,712 units, positioning 2025 for another annual record if December performs strongly. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) surged 83.3% to 4,768 units, while battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) rose 37.9% to 9,081 units (9.1% market share). SUVs dominated at over 60% of sales, with petrol vehicles down 18.1% amid growing electrified uptake.

*Notes: Sales for ranks 5–38 are estimates derived from market share trends, top model performances, and year-to-date extrapolations, as full breakdowns are not always publicly detailed in preliminary VFACTS releases. Chinese brands (BYD, Chery, GWM, MG, LDV) collectively fell 6.8% despite strong individual gains, impacted by supply issues. Tesla’s figure includes ~2,269 Model Y units.
Key Insights:
- Top Performers: Toyota held its lead despite a dip, driven by the RAV4 (top-selling model at ~4,000 units) and HiLux (~2,500 units). Chery exploded +114% on affordable SUVs like the Tiggo 4 (2,287 units). PHEVs like the BYD Shark 6 (1,217 units) boosted electrified sales.
- Decliners: Ford’s 15.1% drop was led by Ranger weakness (-38.5% for 4×2 variants). Mitsubishi (-20.5%), LDV (-33.6%), and MG (-9.5%) faced inventory and competition challenges. Petrol sales fell sharply as hybrids/PHEVs rose.
- Market Trends: SUVs claimed ~60% of volume, light commercials ~22%. BEV share hit 9.1% (up from 6.5% y/y), with Zeekr 7X debuting at 685 units. Year-to-date, the market is resilient, but affordability and the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (effective Jan 2025) could pressure 2026.
