Top 10 brands May 2017
Make Sales Change from May 2016
Toyota - 19,876 +16% (New models, beneficiary of Hyundai changeover on I30)
Mazda - 9903 +3% ( " " " " )
Hyundai - 8312 - 8% (old i30 still on runout, building stocks of new)
Ford - 7617 +16% (almost all off back of Ranger, other lines moribund)
Holden - 6917 -7% (less % decrease than other months this year but tracking predictably - less than 400 sales in front of Mitsu; who will win fifth for the year?)
Mitsubishi - 6521 + 6% (continues to shine despite ordinary model range - probably value buyers)
Nissan - 5083 - 9 % (seriously in trouble)
Volkswagen - 5080 + 11 % (continuing to recover from dieselgate and DSGgate)
Kia - 5005 + 41 % (major improver in this space, doing better than Hyundai in some models)
Subaru - 4146 + 4 per cent (steady)
Top 10 brands May 2017
Make - Model - Sales
Toyota Hilux 4154
Ford Ranger 4069 (cracked 4000 - impressive)
Toyota Corolla 3160
Hyundai i30 2683(includes old model)
Mazda 3 2594
Mazda CX-5 2298
Toyota Camry 2233
Hyundai Tucson 2135
Nissan X-Trail 1992
Toyota RAV4 1977
Holden Colorado 1924
Holden Commodore 1841
Note small hatch/sedans are trending solidly downwards. When new I30 arrives in numbers, CX5 and RAV4 will probably overtake the Corolla and 3. Wind-down of local Camrys has started, last option pack specials are on the market for local build. Many Commodore models are now finished and on way to dealers.
Tinbox Thai ute sales are up because of government depreciation concessions for business. 4000 Ranger sales is impressive - but it's still about 50% of large Ford Australian made car sales at their peak in the nineties. Which shows, even with more sales likely this year than ever, the best-selling numbers are down because of market fragmentation and proliferation of new segments like CUV/SUVs.
