Australia’s top-selling vehicles in 2021

It was a wheel-to-wheel race to the finish between the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger to be crowned 2021 champion. Toyota HiLux had 52,801 new vehicles sold, very closely followed by the Ford Ranger (50,279 new cars sold).

And get this: with 1,049,831 new cars sold across Australia in 2021, those two particular models made up almost 10% of all new vehicles that hit the road over the past 12 months, according to Australia’s peak body for the automotive industry, the FCAI.

While the HiLux took out the top spot, it must be noted that the Ranger is closing the gap – in 2020 a total of 40,973 new Rangers were sold, compared to 45,176 Toyota HiLuxes.

In fact, a total of 531,700 SUVs were sold in 2021, compared to 253,254 light commercial vehicles.
