This is every new car launched in Australia in 2023

This is your definitive list of all the new cars launched in Australia in 2023.

This year was big in Australia, with brand-new metal – all-electric, petrol, diesel or hybrid – finally appearing in the local market.

The highlights included the all-new Volkswagen Amarok, new electric cars – like the Hyundai Ioniq 6, Cupra Born, BYD Seal, Kia EV9, and three affordable sub-$40k hatches in the MG 4, BYD Dolphin and GWM Ora – and much-needed new ZR-V and CR-V SUVs for the struggling Honda brand.

Performance car fans were treated to the Toyota GR Corolla and Honda Civic Type R hot hatches, off-roaders had the Ineos Grenadier, GWM Tank 300 and a four-cylinder automatic LandCruiser 70 Series, and premium SUV buyers can now choose from a pair of Mazdas aimed at German rivals: the CX-60 and CX-90.

If you are struggling to keep up with all the vehicles that touched down in Australia this year, and when, our 2023 New Car Calendar has got you covered!

NOTE: A quarter refers to a three-month period of the year (i.e. January to March).
