Starting most abundant in popular brands, it’s no great surprise Toyota will be the clear favourite. Toyota has been top position for many years now, with no symptom of others catching up. However, sales for the Japanese brand are down 6.3 percent YTD, proving that even its afflicted with the market’s slump. And this is despite huge sales inside the ute sector, including HiLux sales that pushed over 5000 units to your month.

Likewise, the Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi Triton also sold in unusually thousands in comparison to previous months.

Passenger cars were topped through the Hyundai i30. It outsold its popular rivals, the Corolla and Mazda3. The fact is, the Mazda3 resembles it is actually slipping behind a little bit.

And it seems as if the Mercedes A-Class remains at the summit by quite a margin. We’ve made a decision to trim the best-sellers list from 10 in order to 5 models.
