Vehicle Sales By Brand Australia : 2014

The Commodore was 5th best seller and secured 30,200 sales in 2014

The local supplier of sales data in Australia (FCAI) prefers sales to include all vehicles. So you will see commercial truck brands among car makes. Sales were high, but down slightly on 2013, which was a record. The economy is stuttering a little and it will interesting to see where that leads in 2015.

Japanese brands took most of the top spots on the list below. Reliable motoring is what they provide and that is good enough for most Australian buyers. VW had aspiration's of getting further up but for now at least seems to have reached a peak.

Toyota was again top, and has been since 2003. It used to battle it out with GM Holden but that fight ended with the fall in sales of the big car. Once mighty Holden is now fighting off Mazda and Hyundai. Ford was last top back in 1997 but is well off the pace for that honour again. GM tried the Opel brand but it didn't work and it has been withdrawn. I could have told them that. Hyundai got past 100,000 sales for the first time and Land Rover exceeded 10,000 for the first time too.
