Most Popular Used Cars in Australia

With New Car production still facing delays, many car buyers have had to switch their focus to buying used cars. As such, used car sales and prices have skyrocketed. With new car production not predicted to get back to normal until 2023 at the earliest, used cars are now the go-to option for motorists looking for a new ride.

When buying a used car there are a few things you need to look at and consider, one of the things that many people look at before choosing a used car is what models are popular and what models are reliable.

The results are in! Australia’s most popular used cars have been revealed, some of which may surprise you.

Here are the 5 Most Popular Used Cars in Australia.

1. Toyota Corolla

The typical Toyota Corolla comes with a 1.6L engine, power steering, alloy wheels, multi-function control screen, safety cameras, dual-airbags, ABS, central locking, and satellite navigation. Boasting a 5-star ANCAP safety rating it’s hard to see any vehicle dethroning the Corolla as most popular used car in Australia.
