Australian new-car sales in May 2024: Ford Ranger back on top, another VFACTS monthly record
The record run of Australian new-car sales continues for the fifth consecutive month and 14th month in a row of sales increases as the Ford Ranger returns to the top of the charts. The Ford Ranger has regained its place at the top of the Australian new-car sales charts outselling the Toyota HiLux and RAV4 as the market posted its fifth record month in a row. New-vehicle sales are on their longest streak of growth in 20 years after deliveries grew by 5.1 per cent in May 2024 to 111,099 vehicles compared to the same month last year, according to Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) data. Most new models have cleared the waiting lists caused by severe stock shortages in the wake of the pandemic and demand for new vehicles is still running hot, defying a general economic slowdown. If the new-vehicle market continues its current trajectory up 12.2 per cent from January to May 2024, compared to the same period last year it could be on track for 1.35 million deliveries by year's end. As with prior months, the 'VFACTS' sales data reported by the FCAI, the peak body for new-car makers in Australia reflects the number of vehicles that arrived and were handed over to customers, rather than the number of orders written. Last month set a new all-time May record beating the previous best of 105,694 reported last year in the fifth record-setting month in a row. It represented the 14th consecutive month of year-on-year growth and the 22nd positive month in two years. The last time new-vehicle sales grew for 14 months in a row was 11 years ago and it is the longest streak outright in two decades. The Ford Ranger returned to the top of the charts with 5912 sales, ahead of the Toyota HiLux with 5702 deliveries.
