Biggest loss in sales in 2022

Nissan, Volkswagen, Mazda, Ford and Honda’s motobike lost more sales last year, than in 2021, than any other auto brand.

Australian sales data for 2022 – covered in our full summary here – shows sales grew 3.0% in 2022, the strongest year-over-year increase since 2018 despite ongoing shortages.

Here, we expand on this by looking at the brands that lose the most, by figuring out which of the five brands experienced the biggest drop in sales year-over-year (YoY).

We’re focusing on changes in total sales rather than changes in percentages, the latter of which tend to favor less common manufacturers.


Nissan – down 14,772 units

It was not a favorable year for Nissan, which recorded sales of 26,491 units, down 36%. Overall, that means it sold 14,772 vehicles less in 2022 than it did in 2021.

According to VFACTS industry sales data, since 1991, it was the worst sales result since 1995 when Nissan recorded sales of 25,048 units.

For further context, Nissan’s sales a decade ago (2012) were three times as high, with market share falling from 7.2% to 2.4%.

Nissan’s top achievement is navy 4×4 on sales of 8832, but it fell by 32%, while the only bright spot was the mighty Patrol V8 – Sales of 5724, up 72% for a record in this generation.

Things will improve for Nissan in 2023 when it has an all-new SUV line-up, a new Z with a huge bank of ordersand will begin hybrid electronics implementation.
