  • Ranger outsells HiLux in November, but latter leads YTD
  • Everest overtakes Prado
  • LDV and GWM fall from top 10

Despite fewer registrations in November than October, the all-new Ford Ranger continues to be the best-selling 4x4 vehicle in Australia.

Ford sold a total of 4479 Ranger 4x4 vehicles in November, a total of 668 fewer sales than what were registered the preceding month. It remained the dominant 4x4 on the charts, though, outselling its perennial rival, the Toyota HiLux, which registered 4159 4x4 sales.

However, as has been the case for all of 2022, the HiLux maintains a healthy sales lead on the overall 4x4 charts with a total of 44,217 sales. With a lead of 5202 sales and only one month left in 2022, it’s safe to say the HiLux will be the best-selling 4x4 for the year.

Two vehicles which continue to move north on the charts were the LandCruiser 300 Series and Ford Everest, posting monthly sales of 1477 and 1312 respectively. This positioned both vehicles above the ageing Prado, a vehicle which is consistently the best-selling 4x4 SUV in Australia.

Toyota sold a total of 1045 Prado units, which is 416 fewer sales than October 2022. As a result, the Prado slipped from fourth to eighth on the 4x4 charts.

This is representative of an ongoing boom in SUV sales. In November, for example, the SUV market was up by a whopping 31.9 per cent (or 12,662 vehicle sales) compared to the same month in 2021. In comparison, the LCV market was up 6.1 per cent (or 1227 vehicle sales).

After clinging to spots in the top 10, the budget buys – LDV’s T60 and GWM’s Ute – dropped off the 4x4 sales charts in November, replaced by the BT-50 and 79 Series LandCruiser.

Still, sales were steady and consistent with previous months: These were 773 for the LDV and 687 for the Great Wall. Only 296 Musso 4x4 variants were sold for the month.

Despite an all-new Ranger-based model launching early in 2023, a total of 541 new Volkswagen Amaroks were registered in November.
