New Zealand November 2025: Toyota RAV4 #1, Suzuki Fronx in Top 10
Second ever Top 10 finish in New Zealand for the Suzuki Fronx.
New vehicle sales in New Zealand drop -12.8% year-on-year in November to 13,615 units, yet the year-to-date tally remains in clear positive at +8.5% to 128,769. Toyota (-14%) single handedly pulls the market down, with the next 9 carmakers up. BYD (+224.8%) is the most dynamic of all and is inside the Top 10 for the 6th time this year. Kia (+128.7%) is also very dynamic YoY at #4, but thatβs compared to a particularly low year-ago result. Honda (+46.2%), Mazda (+36.5%), Hyundai (+35.9%), Mitsubishi (+30.8%), MG (+26.5%) and Suzuki (+25.3%) also shine while Ford (+11.7%) is more discreet but still manages a double-digit gain and at 13.3% share, it is two percentage points above its YTD level.
Model-wise, the Toyota RAV4 (-33%) remains the dominant force with 9.2% share, the steep fall being due to a record November 2024 at 12% share. The Ford Ranger (+26.5%) follows, ahead of the Toyota Hilux (+12.7%) and Mitsubishi ASX (+67.6%), replicating the YTD Top 4. Excellent result also for the Ford Everest at #5 and 3.9% share vs. 2.4% so far this year. The Mitsubishi Outlander (+167.3%) does even better at #6 while the Toyota Yaris Cross (+3.9%) edges up YoY at #7. Second ever Top 10 finish for the new Suzuki Fronx at #8. The BYD Shark 6 is just outside the Top 20.
