Motorists keep driving the economy forward, with new figures revealing Australians have purchased more than one million vehicles in 2023 – a rise of more than 20 per cent.
And the popularity of large vehicles is behind the increase, with figures revealing utes and large SUVs made up more than one in three vehicles sold during October.
Data released by the Federal Chamber for Automotive Industries (FCAI) on Friday also showed the popularity of electric vehicles had taken a dip, down to 5.7 per cent during the month from a high of eight per cent in April.
