What are Australia’s best-selling cars in each segment?

Australia’s new car market is divided into ‘segments’ by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industry (FCAI), making it easy to understand how a given vehicle class is performing compared to its closest competitors. it becomes simpler.

With half a year gone and actually looking in the rearview mirror now, it seems like the right time to gauge which models have topped each of these segments so far this year – helping you out. Get an in-depth look at Australia’s most popular cars across the board.

The broader new car market is divided into three subgroups called passenger cars (hatchback, sedan, wagon, coupe, convertible, passenger car); SUVs; and light advertising (utes, trucks and buses). Within each subset are smaller clusters sorted by size and price.

Where appropriate, I will describe both premium and entry-level models of a given vehicle segment, but for smaller-scale corners of the market, I’ll combine the two. Also, if any of these segments seem unfamiliar to you, blame FCAI.
