Australia's best-sellers always grab the headlines, but the real story of 2026 is in the second tier: the Toyota Camry defying the sedan death narrative, the BYD Seal nearly doubling year-on-year, and the GWM Tank 300 becoming a genuine large SUV force. Here's what their numbers mean for buyers.
Subaru has thrown performance enthusiasts three new breadcrumbs: a genuine performance hatch based on its Super Taikyu race car, a WRX with the legendary TY85 six-speed manual, and a sharper BRZ. All three land before 2027. Whether Australia gets any of them is the real question.
Ford has confirmed its Australian engineering team will continue to develop the next-generation Ranger and Everest locally, despite earlier warnings that NVES emissions regulations could force a rethink. The 1,500-strong local R&D team is already working on what comes next.
The Cadillac Lyriq is now $32,000 cheaper than when it launched in Australia last year. It's not alone. Across the luxury EV segment, prices are falling fast, and for buyers who've been sitting on the fence, the timing is getting interesting.
The third-generation Audi Q7 has been officially revealed, and the headline story isn't the exterior, it's the interior. Better materials, proper seat choices, and mild-hybrid diesel power are on the way to Australian driveways before the end of 2026.
Mitsubishi has signalled it wants to offer factory-backed GVM upgrades and heavier Triton variants, acknowledging it's currently losing money to aftermarket outfitters. With Ralliart and electrification in the mix, the next Triton generation could look very different.
GAC, the Chinese automaker now selling Aion-branded EVs in Australia, recorded its first financial loss since 2010. Its joint venture with Honda is under strain as BYD's price war erodes margins across the Chinese market. Here's what it means if you're buying or considering an Aion in Australia.
XPeng has opened a factory-backed dealer network in Australia, ending months of uncertainty following the collapse of its original distributor relationship. The updated 2027 G6 mid-size EV is the vehicle bringing it back. Here's what current owners and prospective buyers need to know.
One in every five new cars sold in Australia in May 2026 was a battery electric vehicle, a new record. Combined with hybrids and plug-in hybrids, electrified vehicles now account for 46 per cent of all sales. The market is shifting faster than most buyers realise.
Leapmotor's mid-size electric SUV is being updated with a larger battery, a redesigned face and an overhauled interior. With Australian C10 sales sitting well below rivals like the BYD Sealion 7 and Geely EX5, buyers now have real leverage on current stock while they wait to see what the refresh brings.
4x4 ute sales are down 18 per cent year-to-date in 2026, even as the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux posted monthly improvements in May. New data from the FCAI points to a structural shift in what Australian buyers are prioritising, and it has implications for anyone shopping, trading in, or competing in the segment.
Audi has revealed the Nuvolari, a 736kW V8 hybrid supercar that replaces the iconic R8 as the brand's halo model. Limited to 499 units globally and priced at around $940,000, it sets a new benchmark for Audi performance — and targets Ferrari and Lamborghini directly.
