The Toyota Corolla was Australian’s best-selling new car in 2014, pipping the Mazda3 which showed a resurgent final quarter.
Trailing the Corolla for most of 2014, the Mazda3 topped the sales charts in September, November and December.
But the late surge wasn’t enough with the Corolla taking top spot for only the second time in its long Australian history with 43,735 sales (422 ahead of the Mazda3).
This sees Toyota’s small car win the overall sales battle for the second year running, while the evergreen HiLux pickup took the bronze medal with 38,126.
From there, Hyundai’s i30 was fourth with 31,505 sales and the Holden Commodore fifth on 30,203, but the Commodore is elevated to fourth with 35,772 if Holden ‘Commodore’ Ute sales are also considered.
