VFACTS August 2025: 4 Chinese language manufacturers in prime 10

Australians took supply of 100,539 new autos in August, up 2.2 per cent on the identical month final yr.

There’s a serious caveat right here – these figures don’t embody Tesla and Polestar, which report their gross sales figures to the Electrical Automobile Council (EVC).

The EVC has beforehand revealed its month-to-month gross sales report the day earlier than the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) publishes its month-to-month VFACTS report.

Polestar has individually equipped us with its gross sales knowledge, although neither Tesla nor the EVC has equipped gross sales knowledge on the time of publication.

It’s unclear, then, whether or not Tesla was within the checklist of prime 10 best-selling manufacturers. If not, which means 4 Chinese language manufacturers – BYD, GWM, MG and Chery – had been within the nationwide prime 10.

Whereas BYD, GWM and MG have all completed within the prime 10 earlier than, the presence of all three plus Chery is a primary.

BYD completed sixth, with GWM, MG and Chery filling out the highest 10. Mixed, this bloc helped preserve stalwarts like Isuzu Ute, Subaru, Volkswagen and Nissan out of the highest 10.

It’s price noting that, along with Tesla and Polestar not supplying their gross sales knowledge to the FCAI, the month-to-month VFACTS report doesn’t embody manufacturers like Mahindra, Xpeng, Ineos, Good and Cadillac. This constantly leaves us with an incomplete image of the general market, even when none of those promote in the identical volumes as gamers like Toyota and Ford.
