Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 05:48 · Archive
The Toyota LandCruiser Prado has overtaken the Ford Everest in year-to-date sales in Australia, leading by 118 vehicles.
The Toyota LandCruiser Prado has overtaken the Ford Everest in year-to-date Australian sales in October, with the two rival SUVs separated by just 118 vehicles. The Prado recorded 2397 sales in October against the Everest's 1741, taking the Toyota to 18,062 sales for the year, ahead of the Everest's 17,944.
October marked the fourth consecutive month the Prado outsold the Everest, and the sixth time this year. The Ford SUV had previously held the advantage for most of the year, with its largest lead of 2031 sales recorded at the end of June. Both models remain the runaway top sellers in the segment, with the third-placed Isuzu MU-X posting 823 sales in October and 11,379 year-to-date.
Toyota Australia attributed the shift to additional vehicle supply secured in recent months. John Pappas, Toyota Australia vice president of sales, stated that this has enabled 'improved availability and shorter wait times across a range of key Toyota models'. Toyota sold 20,649 vehicles in October, more than double second-placed BYD's 10,025, marking its strongest monthly result in 2026.
