Australian new vehicle sales decrease 0.9% in March
On April 3, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries announced that new vehicle registrations of 108,606 units in March 2025 represented a decrease 0.9% over the last March. New vehicle sales of 290,403 units in the first three months of the year represented a 4.6% decrease YoY.
Passenger car sales of 14,163 units in March represented a 19.6% decrease from the same period in 2024, SUV sales of 65,747 units represented a 1.7 % increase, LCV sales of 24,560 units represented a 6.5% increase and MHCV sales of 4,136 units represented a 4.7% decrease.
FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber said that we are at a critical point in transitioning to a lower-emission vehicle fleet, but Australian families and businesses are not shifting in large numbers to EVs. While the supply of EVs is increasing, now with 89 models available in Australia, the demand for EVs is weak. This is consistent with a number of other advanced markets around the world.
Among the companies, Toyota sales increased 8.3% to 20,541 units, Ford sales decreased 6.2% to 8,232 units, Mazda sales decreased 3.0% to 8,000 units, Kia sales increased 3.4% to 7,307 units and Mitsubishi sales decreased 7.6% to 7,265 units.
The best-selling cars in March 2025, in order of popularity, were Ford Ranger, Toyota RAV4 and Toyota HiLux.

On March 5, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries announced that new vehicle registrations of 94,993 units in February 2025 represented a decrease 9.6% over the last February. New vehicle sales of 181,797 units in the first two months of the year represented a 6.7% decrease YoY.
Passenger car sales of 12,787 units in February represented a 34.8% decrease from the same period in 2024, SUV sales of 57,421 units represented a 0.6% decrease, LCV sales of 21,337 units represented a 10.2% decrease and MHCV sales of 3,448 units represented a 10.9% decrease.
FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber said that strong consumer preference for SUVs and light commercial vehicles continued while sales in the passenger vehicle segment declined. However, the industry was increasingly concerned at the rate of total battery electric vehicle sales which recorded just 5.9% of total sales, compared with 9.6% in February 2024. They are now two months into the Government’s New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES), and while the supply of battery electric vehicles has risen dramatically, consumer demand has fallen by 37% this year compared with the first two months of 2024.
Among the companies, Toyota sales decreased 2.8% to 18,832 units, Mazda sales increased 19.7% to 8,797 units, Kia sales increased 9.2% to 6,707 units, Ford sales decreased 12.9% to 6,337 units and Mitsubishi sales decreased 4.6% to 6,119 units.
The best-selling cars in February 2025, in order of popularity, were Toyota RAV4, Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux.

Australian new vehicle sales decrease 3.3% in January
On February 5, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries announced that new vehicle registrations of 86,804 units in January 2025 represented a decrease 3.3% over the last January.
Passenger car sales of 12,783 units in January represented a 22.2% decrease from the same period in 2024, SUV sales of 52,748 units represented a 5.9% increase, LCV sales of 18,448 units represented a 10.5% decrease and MHCV sales of 2,825 units represented a 3.2% decrease.
FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber said that weakness in the market in 2024 has continued through to the January result and that current economic conditions remained a major consideration for consumers in all market segments. Especially, the sales of battery electric vehicles were the lowest since October 2022 with 4.4% sales share. This is a major concern because consumers are turning away from EVs at the time the Commonwealth Government has introduced the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES).
Among the companies, Toyota sales increased 2.9% to 18,424 units, Mazda sales increased 1.9% to 8,322 units, Ford sales increased 3.1% to 6,830 units, Kia sales increased 0.2% to 5,720 units and Mitsubishi sales decreased 3.9% to 5,681 units.
The best-selling cars in January 2025, in order of popularity, were Toyota RAV4, Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux.
