The Everest ended the month with 11,276 YTD sales; the MU-X with 10,083. The Everest also edged out the MU-X to remain Australia’s most popular wagon for the month (2267 vs 1564). Compared to June 2023, Everest sales were up a whopping 96.6 per cent last month (2267 vs 1153).

Sales of all three budget brawlers – LDV T60, GWM Ute and SsangYong Musso – were up in June (726, 890 and 511) compared to May (510, 685 and 420), with the thrifty GWM once again the most popular. At the heavy-hitting end of the market, the Chevrolet Silverado (368) outsold the Ram 1500 (341) and Ford F-150 (112).
