Default 2013 Sales Figures

Toyota Corolla, Australia’s top selling car in record 2013 market

Australians bought a record 1,136,227 cars in 2013. The most popular choice was the Toyota Corolla, with 43,498 sales (3.8 per cent of the market). The Corolla was followed by the Mazda3 (42,082), Toyota HiLux (39,931) Hyundai i30 (30,582) and Holden Commodore (27,766).

Toyota also took the title of top selling brand with 18.9 per cent of the market. It was followed by Holden with 9.9 per cent, Mazda with 9.1 per cent, Hyundai with 8.5 per cent and Ford with 7.7 per cent.

Releasing the 2013 full-year sales results, FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber said he saw some interesting trends in 2013. This included the continuing popularity of the small passenger car, the strong growth in the small SUV market and the significant increase in private buyer purchases of light commercial vehicles.

“Passenger cars remained the largest selling category in 2013 with 49.9 per cent of the market. However, this is a slight decrease compared to 2012, where passenger cars held 51.7 per cent of the market,” Mr Weber said.

“The SUV and light commercial segments increased their share of the market in 2013, holding 29.4 and 18 per cent, respectively, compared to 27.6 and 17.8 per cent in 2012.”

Sales in most states and territories across Australia rose in 2013 compared to 2012; however, sales in the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia decreased slightly (by around 1*–2 per cent in each jurisdiction). Tasmania saw exceptional growth, up 14.6 per cent compared to 2012. Sales in the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales grew by around 2.5 per cent and sales in South Australia and Victoria grew by around 4 per cent.

In 2013, government purchases were down a significant 20.2 per cent, or 10,291 vehicles. Business purchases were also down by a total of 1.1 per cent. However, business purchases in the SUV segment increased by 5.9 per cent.

Private sales were up a total of 8.1 per cent. This included a 37.2 per cent rise in private purchases of light commercial vehicles.

The Australian-made Holden Commodore, Toyota Camry and Holden Cruze were all in the top ten list for sales in 2013. The Ford Falcon also features in the top 20.

The 1,136,227 sales is 2.2 per cent higher than the 2012 sales result of 1,112,032 vehicles.

My nomination for the 2014 award is the NEW Mazda3.
You wouldn't want to be tempted by the runout special deals, it will be unwanted on delivery in comparison IMO.
