New vehicle sales grew 2.6 per cent in October compared to the same month last year, keeping the market narrowly on track for an all-time annual record in 2017.
VFACTS figures provided by industry lobby group, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI), recorded an all-time-high 95,763 sales last monthly, taking the yearly figure to 984,931 units with two months left to run — up 0.5 per cent over last year’s cumulative tally.
Once again SUVs were the most popular vehicle type with 38.5 per cent market share, compared to 38 per cent for other passenger cars. But it was light commercial vehicles that drove the improvement by growing 18.5 per cent, and netting about 20 per cent share.
Returning to the top of the sales charts was the Hyundai i30, for the first time in its new ‘PD’ generation,. More impressively, it achieved the result without the company offering national sub-$20k drive-away pricing like it was doing on the old car, when in runout.
Top selling car makers
Toyota was top of the tree as always, up an impressive 9 per cent to 17,836 units, for 18.6 per cent market share. Joining it on the podium were Hyundai (up 1 per cent to 8800), with victory over Mazda (8054, up 1.7 per cent).
Next were Holden on 7726, up 2.7 per cent in a rare piece of positive growth, ahead of Ford (5785, down 11 per cent), Mitsubishi (5550, up 6 per cent), Volkswagen (4941, up 1.5 per cent), Subaru (4667, up 12.7 per cent), Nissan (back into the top ten with 4565 sales, albeit down about 18 per cent) and Kia (up a strong 20 per cent to 4255).
The positions of 11-20 were occupied by Honda (up 14 per cent), Mercedes-Benz, Isuzu Ute, Audi, BMW, Suzuki, Land Rover, Renault, Lexus and Jeep (down 33 per cent, par for the course these days). Skoda was 21st on 516.
Top selling models
The Hyundai i30 topped the charts with just under 4000 units, despite its $22,990 drive-away price point as advertised nationally hardly equalling the sort of cut-price deals the brand once offered. Add in the 310 Elantra sales and Hyundai’s lead grows.
The Toyota HiLux was just behind, ahead of its Corolla stablemate and the Ford Ranger (HiLux 4×4 sales also edged its Ford rival for the first time in a while, 2970 to 2648).
Rounding out the top ten were the Holden Commodore in its final full month as an Australian-made car before it becomes a rebadged Opel, the Mazda CX-5, Toyota Camry (ditto, its last month as an Aussie-made vehicle before it becomes a Japanese import in new-generation form), Mazda 3, Mitsubishi Triton and Volkswagen Golf.
Thus, from the top-ten, four cars were small hatchbacks/sedans, three were utes, one was a SUV, one a mid-sized car and the other a large car. This is clearly not representative of the overall market splits, interestingly enough.

*Note: If you combine the 70- and 200 Series Toyota LandCruiser ranges, the total is a massive 2019 units, enough for eighth spot. We’ve opted not to combine them because the two models are vastly different offerings.
