Australia’s new car market remains on track to set a new yearly record in 2017. July figures were up 1.6 per cent from the corresponding month in 2016.
 
92,754 vehicle registrations were recorded in July meaning the market as a whole is currently sitting 0.4 per cent above the equivalent period in 2016.
 
In a month that again represented business as usual, Toyota remains at the top. The HiLux continues to be the best selling nameplate with the Corolla, Camry, RAV4 and LandCruiser all residing in the top 10.
 
The Ranger must be starting to get sore knees from carrying the weight of Ford’s fleet on its shoulders. Despite the high price, the Everest had a strong month with 456 sales, it sits second in the category behind the Isuzu MU-X.
 
Ford hasn’t had a good week, the announcement of the ACCC taking legal action over the brand’s handling of the PowerShift transmission issues won’t help Ford move its passenger cars. It’s something of an anomaly in the new car market, Ford has a strong lineup, but hasn’t been able to convert it into sales success. Perhaps the deals need to be sharper.
 
It’s interesting that Honda is not firmly entrenched in the top 10. With the new CR-V now on sale, expect them to be there before the year ends.
 
Mitsubishi is doing remarkably well considering its ageing line up, with 6020 sales, they are within striking distance of Ford and Holden.
 
SUV brand Haval notched up 67 sales in July, a small number, but it’s a start. Things are looking up, refreshed models are on their way and a larger dealer network is being rolled out.
 
Nissan and Volkswagen are still on the slide when compared to 2016. Nissan is down a significant 12.1 per cent.

Let’s start a Car Conversation, any surprises in the sales figures? What does Ford need to do in order to lift its numbers?
