The all-conquering Toyota HiLux has yet again led the way for ute sales in February, in a month that saw four commercial vehicles make it into the top seven highest selling cars list.
While the gap from the Toyota HiLux (3319) to the second-placed Nissan Navara (2645) is close (674 vehicles), the distance between the Nissan and the Mitsubishi Triton (2335) in third position is far closer at (310 vehicles).
The Navara�??s solid month has helped the Japanese brand reach its 10th-consecutive record sales month and boost its numbers enough to successfully move Holden out of one of the top three spots in Australia�??s new car sales for the first time in recent history.
The Ford Ranger (1739) has a strong grasp of fourth position ahead of the Mazda BT-50 (1342), while also winning the year to date growth stakes in a flow-on effect related to supply shortages following the 2011 Thailand floods. Both the Ranger� and the sixth-placed Holden Colorado (1164) are proving significantly more popular than both brands�?? historic trade models, the 10th-placed Holden Commodore� ute (442) and 12th-place finishing Ford Falcon ute (326).
While the Isuzu D-Max (801), Toyota Landcruiser PU/CC (731) and Great Wall V200/V240 all made this month�??s top 10, the Volkswagen Amarok (371), Nissan Patrol PU/CC (108) and� Ssangyong Actyon Sports with its 51 units sold, missed the cut.
The segment�??s popularity among consumers was highlighted by 4�?4 sales growing 53.2 per cent on last year and 4�?2 utes following the trend, increasing by 18.1 per cent.
