On February 4, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries announced that new vehicle registrations of 87,092 units in January 2026 represented an increase of 0.3% over the last January.
Passenger car sales of 13,365 units in January represented a 4.6% increase from the same period in 2025, SUV sales of 53,263 units represented a 1.0% increase, LCV sales of 17,995 units represented a 2.5% decrease and MHCV sales of 2,469 units represented a 12.4% decrease.
FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber said that January’s figures show a market that is stable. It seems fewer petrol vehicles sold and rapid growth in plug-in hybrids (PHEV), while uptake of hybrid (HEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) is more stable.
Among the companies, Toyota sales decreased 22.3% to 14,310 units, Mazda sales decreased 7.6% to 7,692 units, Kia sales increased 15.4% to 6,600 units, Ford sales decreased 10.5% to 6,116 units and Hyundai sales increased 6.9% to 5,856 units. In addition, BYD and Chery, which ranked at 6th and 9th, significantly increased than last year, up 640.9% and 105.8% respectively. The results show that Korean and Chinese manufacturers are growing in Australian market, which is weakening Japanese manufacturers.
The best-selling cars in January 2026, in order of popularity, were Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux, and Mazda CX-5.
