Tesla had a huge month<\/a>, coming in fourth overall with 8670 deliveries, up 88.9 per cent year-on-year. This was well above its previous monthly record of 6433 deliveries, set just a month prior in May, and is the highest Tesla has ever ranked in the top 10. It previously reached sixth position in June 2023 and May 2026.<\/p>\nThe Model Y accounted for 8072 of Tesla’s deliveries, comfortably making it Australia’s best-selling vehicle.<\/p>\n
This year has proved an ideal environment for EVs to thrive, amid spikes in fuel prices and uncertainty over fuel supply. They accounted for 23.3 per cent of the total market in June, beating the previous market share record of 19.9 per cent set just a month prior.<\/p>\n
Hybrids and PHEVs also flourished, with sales up 35 per cent and 158 per cent YoY.<\/p>\n
Brands<\/p>\n
Toyota held onto the top spot… just. However, BYD has said its massive month was \u201ca feat unlikely to be repeated for some time\u201d, and Toyota has a much more comfortable lead in year-to-date sales (95,141 vs 52,335).<\/p>\n

Ford remained a podium finisher despite a 9.1 per cent year-on-year drop to 9181 units. It managed to fend off a surging Tesla, as well as Kia (8005, up 2.5 per cent), and Hyundai (7480, down 11.0 per cent). <\/p>\n
Mazda sat in seventh place with 7278 deliveries, down 22.6 per cent.<\/p>\n
The top 10 was rounded out by a trio of Chinese brands: GWM (6104, up 11.7 per cent), MG (5001, up 28.4 per cent) and Chery (4505, up 49.0 per cent).<\/p>\n

As mentioned, the Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7 managed to topple the Toyota RAV4 to become Australia’s two best-selling SUVs, but the top three was otherwise familiar with the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux utes taking the silver and bronze.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Australia’s third-best-selling ute wasn’t the Isuzu D-Max, but rather the BYD Shark 6.<\/p>\n
The small SUV segment was extremely competitive. The petrol, hybrid and electric Hyundai Kona remained on top with 2505 deliveries, but was closely followed by the electric BYD Atto 2 (2482), the petrol and hybrid GWM Haval Jolion (2446), and the petrol and hybrid Chery Tiggo 4 (2329).<\/p>\n
