The 2025 new car sales results for YTD November 2025 have been released. There isn’t anything dramatically different, rather continuing trends that we have seen most of the year.
In November there were 125,497 new vehicle sales recorded. This is slightly down on the same month last year.
Petrol remains the dominant fuel choice, but its slowly declining. Next is diesel. Taking up the sales from petrol are hybrids and PHEVs. These are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason.
Coming a distant last are pure EV’s. Sales are around 8.1% YTD despite there being over 110 models available for buyers.
SUV’s continue to grow in popularity with a touch over 60% of sales. Light commercial vehicles that include work Utes and delivery vans account for about 22% of sales and passenger vehicles are now around 15.7%.
Toyota remains the number one brand with almost 2 ½ times the sales of second place Ford. They are followed by Mazda, Kia and Hyundai.
The next top five spots include Mitsubishi, GWM, BYD, MG and Isuzu Ute.
Of the top ten models sold in November, seven were SUV’s and three were Utes.
There are now over 60 brands available in Australia. However, while supply is increasing, demand remains fairly constant. If I remember my old economics degree, that spells trouble for some brands but should be a bonanza for buyers.
The other factor to watch is just how much growth will the Chinese brands have over the next few years. My guess is that they will become a problem for some established brands.
