For the second straight month, SUVs have outsold conventional passenger cars in Australia’s new car market which recorded another record month in March.

VFACTS reveals the market was up 0.9 percent compared to the same month last year, with a grand total of 105,410 sales (up 898 on March 2016).

Proving that the February figures were not a one-off, SUVs commanded 39.4 percent of new car sales, compared with 37 percent for passenger cars.

SUV sales are up 7.9 percent on March last year, and combining light commercial vehicle sales with SUVs sees the pair dominate with 60.3 percent of the market.

These figures were somewhat reflected in the overall top-ten sellers list for March, although it’s a pair of commercials that took home the silverware.
