New cars on sale in Australia: August and September

A glut of new and exciting models are hitting Aussie roads this August and September, with enough variety to satisfy those looking for a new family SUV or a hardcore sportscar like Nissan’s updated, supercar-beating Nissan GT-R. Leading the list of family orientated arrivals is Jaguar’s eagerly anticipated F-Pace SUV which shares mechanical underpinnings with the excellent Jaguar XE and XF sedans, and starts at $74,340 for the Prestige 20d diesel model. Infiniti’s small QX30 SUV also arrives in late August, while performance car fans have a glut of new metal to choose from including sharper and faster Competition Pack versions of the M3 and M4. Holden is also launching an important new model in the form of its all-new Astra city car.
