VFACTS May – Hyundai i30 And Toyota HiLux Lead | Strong Month For Skoda And Kia

There’s been a change at the top of the sales standings, as Hyundai’s i30 overtook its two closest rivals last month to become Australia’s top-selling small car.

Those rivals are no small fish either, being Toyota’s Corolla and the Mazda3, but each was outsold by the i30 last month as it chalked up 3771 sales.

VFACTS for May revealed the i30 bettered Toyota’s evergreen HiLux to take top spot in the overall sales rankings by 96 units, but the HiLux is Australia’s best-selling car for 2016 to date with 16,558 sales.

The Corolla took the last step on the podium for May with 3333 sales, followed by the Mazda3 on 3243.

Toyota and Mazda were the only carmakers to have more than one model in the top ten. Ford’s Ranger was fifth with 3115 sales, the Holden Commodore sixth on 2255 and the Mazda CX-5 (below) was up 6.9 percent on May last year with a tally of 2117 in seventh.
