most popular car in australia 2023

Short answer: the Ford Ranger wore the crown in Australia in 2023.

It edged the Toyota HiLux, proving Aussies still love a dual-cab more than kale smoothies. Broad model spread, stout diesels, and clever tech made it the default choice for tradies and school-run heroes alike. Expect strong towing up to 3.5 tonnes and payloads that don’t flinch, which helps when you’re carting half a Bunnings. If you meant “car” in the sedan/hatch sense, tough luck—utes and SUVs run the show, with Corolla and friends playing supporting roles. In short: Ranger first, HiLux second, everyone else jogging behind.
