New vehicle sales in Australia grew 1.6 per cent in July over the same month in 2016, to a record 92,754 units – enough to keep the market on record year-to-date (YTD) pace.
It was the fourth month of record sales for 2017, with July the third month in succession where the feat was achieved.
July’s market-wide figure was about 30 per cent lower than June’s sales, which is common given huge EOFY incentives that always make the year’s sixth month its biggest by volume.

Quotes
Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries CEO Tony Weber said the record July outcome was notable in that it came directly after the industry’s best-ever monthly result in June.
“This July figure demonstrates the industry’s ability to deliver products which are not only good value but cater specifically for the changing needs of Australian customers,” he said.
“The steady rise in small and medium SUV sales are indicative of our market’s changing dynamic and manufacturers are moving quickly to meet those new needs and expectations.”
