.Australian new-car sales in February 2024:

VFACTS records smashed againNew-car deliveries increased by 20 per cent year-on-year last month – and beat the all-time February record by 8500 vehicles.

It represents a 20.9 per cent increase on the same month in 2023, and is up 8.9 per cent on the all-time February record of 96,443 deliveries in 2016 – as well as up 14.4 per cent on the five-year February average prior to the pandemic (91,799).

This time last year the automotive industry was amidst a quarantine crisis – with, at one point, up to 60,000 vehicles waiting offshore or at ports – which makes February 2024's record look more significant.
