Australia's most popular SUVs: Top-selling models by size

If you prefer your practical family car to come in the form of a sedan or wagon, you might soon be out of luck when it comes to new cars.

Trying to find a new car with a manual transmission is hard enough these days, but an affordable low-riding family hauler is nearly as hard. Some brands continue to plug away in the segment, but your widest selection is absolutely in the SUV space.

And boy are they selling, to the point of absolutely dominating Australia's top 10 – beaten only by the no-longer humble ute.
