Best-selling car brands in Australia in July 2025

July 2025 sets a new record for most sales in the month of July. A total of 104,244 new vehicles were delivered in July 2025, up 2.0 per cent on July 2024, beating the previous record of 102,181 deliveries made in July last year. 

Toyota has once again secured its spot at the top of the list, however with a slight drop of 4.3% compared to July 2024. Here are the top 10 highest selling car brands of July 2025:

At a glance

• Toyota leads the race with over 20,000 sales for July, almost triple the second highest seller, Mazda. Though it has taken a marginal dip from last month, it’s still going strong.
• Mazda’s numbers might stand second to the top, though still less than ideal with sales dropping 12.1% this month. 
• The third position is bagged by Kia only lagging behind Mazda by 50 units with an 11.8 percent bump in year-on-year sales. The Korean carmaker could become a consistent name in the top three with the sales of the Kia Tasman ute, at least until the new-gen Mazda CX-5 arrives in 2026.
• Ford’s sales dropped only 6.1 percent compared to July 2024 but that was enough to see it drop to fourth on this list. This slump is largely due to the drop in deliveries for the Ranger ute.
• Japanese brands top the board with Korean brands not far behind. Moreover, Chinese players continue to rise with brands like GWM and BYD making the leaderboard this month.
• Isuzu Ute is up by 4.3% meanwhile Subaru dips 9.4% coming in 10th.

• Kia’s upward trajectory continues as it leaps ahead of long-time rivals, capitalising on product updates and market-savvy positioning.
