The Toyota Corolla was (not atypically) the most popular vehicle in February with 3455 sales, albeit down 12.3 per cent, ahead of the Mazda 3 (3354, down 6.8 per cent). This means the top two were from the Small Car segment, despite its 4.9 per cent decline.

The Toyota HiLux (3261, up 14 per cent) and Ford Ranger (2655, up 35.9 per cent) utes filled the next two spots, ahead of the always strong Hyundai i30 (2461, up 15.8 per cent).
