Australia and New Zealand (ANZACs) are very close nations, like Canada
and the USA. Accents and culture also have a strong similarity. How
about car buying preferences by brand?
To start, Australia has 92.3% of sales and NZ 7.7%. The figure after the
brand name below is the percentage the brand achieves over or under the
average, NZ being the reference country. For example Suzuki makes 16.9%
of its ANZAC sales in NZ, but NZ only has 7.7% of ANZAC sales. The
16.9% figure is 119% up on 7.7%. That is the method I have used to show
the variances.
US Brands: GM Holden is -22% in NZ, but Ford is +12% for the smaller nation.
Premium Brands: Only MINI (+55%) and Audi is stronger in NZ (+9%). Weaker are Volvo (-57%), Jaguar (-21%) BMW (-16%).
Luxury Brands: This now swings NZs way. Aston Martin (+196%), Bentley (+97%), Lamborghini (+75%) and Maserati (+61%).
Korean Brands: Ssangyong (+178%) and Kia (+14%) favoured by Kiwis, but not Hyundai (-7%).
European Brands: A mixed bag here. Peugeot and Citroen strong in NZ (+65% each), as was Fiat (+97%), while Renault (-67%) and VW (-7%) not so.
Japanese Brands: NZers more likely to buy Suzuki (+119%) and Toyota (+14%). Not so Subaru (-46%), Isuzu (-38%) and Mazda (-19%).
Summary: Japanese brands are slightly more favoured in
Australia, while premium brand are much stronger. Luxury marques swings
very much in NZ's favour though.
