Starting with the most popular new vehicle brands for the month, Toyota is still well and truly in the lead, setting the pace with 19,787 sales. Runner-up Ford isn’t even close, with just over 7400 sales, and then Mazda rounds out the top three with almost 7000 units.

Further down the top 10 list, we see MG has left the chat with sales dropping 47.3 per cent for the month, leaving room for Subaru to re-enter. It’s also pretty clear to see the new-age brands from China are all reporting big increases while the established brands are reporting drops.
