new car prices australia 2023

In 2023, new car prices in Australia were still a bit lofty but finally easing—like the queue at Bunnings after the last snag. As a ballpark, expect entry hatches around $23k–$28k drive-away, popular small/mid SUVs at $35k–$60k, dual‑cab utes at $45k–$85k, and EVs roughly $45k–$90k+ depending on battery and badge. Used prices cooled too: budget runabouts commonly $8k–$18k, mainstream SUVs $20k–$45k, and late‑model utes $35k–$70k based on kms, condition and spec. On‑road costs vary by state, and discounts returned late‑2023 as supply unclenched, so shop around and don’t be shy.
