Australia just closed out a record-breaking year in car sales, with over 1.22 million new vehicles hitting the roads in 2024. If you're thinking about upgrading, these are the models most Aussies are choosing, and for good reason.

🚙 1. Ford Ranger

Tough, versatile, and packed with tech, the Ranger continues to lead the market. It’s a perfect match for tradies, weekend warriors, and families alike.

🚗 2. Toyota RAV4

A hybrid SUV with serious appeal. Spacious, efficient, and backed by Toyota’s reputation for reliability, it’s no surprise the RAV4 is a family favourite.

🛠 3. Toyota HiLux

A long-time Aussie legend. Built for work, play, and everything in between, the HiLux continues to prove its strength both off-road and in city streets.

🔧 4. Isuzu D‑MAX

Value-packed and built to last, the D-MAX is fast becoming a tradie go-to. It’s known for reliability, simplicity, and solid towing capacity.

👨‍👩‍👧 5. Mitsubishi Outlander

Available in petrol and plug-in hybrid versions, the Outlander balances family practicality with efficiency and sharp styling, making it a smart everyday SUV.

🌄 6. Ford Everest

Need seven seats and off-road strength? The Everest delivers both, along with impressive comfort and on-road manners.

Why Are Aussies Choosing Utes & SUVs?

SUVs and utes now make up nearly 80% of new vehicle sales in Australia. Their rise comes down to:

  • Versatility for both work and lifestyle
  • Improved fuel economy across the board
  • Space for families, gear, and everything in between
  • Great resale value and durability
