TOP 5 Best-Selling Cars in Australia in 2025 🚘 🏆 📆

A record number of new cars were sold in Australia in 2025 for the third successive year, passing 1.24 million annual sales for the first time as buyers took advantage of a highly competitive marketplace that’s being heavily influenced by an influx of Chinese brands and models. Toyota remained the clear market leader and the Ford Ranger held off the Toyota RAV4 and HiLux to retain its title as the number-one vehicle in Australia, but these best-selling brands and vehicles all suffered year-on-year declines respectively in what was a highly challenging year for legacy carmakers. In contrast, BYD barged into the top 10 with phenomenal sales growth from its fast-expanding plug-in hybrid and electric vehicle range, led by the BYD Shark 6 ute and BYD Sealion 7 SUV, to join GWM and MG on the leaders’ board and pave the way for more Chinese brands to follow suit. China is also now second only to Japan as the most popular source of new vehicles in Australia. Affordable cars with electrified powertrains, lots of equipment, a long warranty, top safety rating and, increasingly, localisation for Australian conditions is a winning formula and integral to the record 1,241,037 total sales and 0.3 per cent growth achieved across the car industry in 2025. Here are the key results for the best-selling new cars in Australia for 2025 based on official figures from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (VFACTS) and the Electric Vehicle Council.
