Toyota RAV4 tops CarExpert new car sales in September 2026
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 23:03 · Archive
The Toyota RAV4 returned to the top of CarExpert's new car sales rankings in September 2026.
The Toyota RAV4 was the most popular new vehicle purchased through CarExpert in September 2026, climbing from eighth place two months earlier to claim the top spot. It was followed by the Geely Starray EM-i, which moved up from seventh place in July to second, while the Hyundai Kona rounded out the top three. The Zeekr 7X placed fourth, ahead of the Toyota Prado, reflecting continued demand for a mix of established favourites and newer electrified models.
The results show how quickly buyer preferences can shift over a relatively short period. The mid-year best-seller, the Jaecoo J5, was absent from September's leading models, while the RAV4 made the biggest move up the rankings. The Geely Starray EM-i was another standout, finishing second in both customer enquiries and completed purchases. The Hyundai Kona also performed strongly, moving from sixth place in July to third in September.
While SUVs dominated both the enquiry and sales lists, there were notable differences between the models buyers were considering and those they ultimately purchased. The Ford Ranger and Everest attracted considerable interest but did not feature among September's best-selling models. Customers who purchased a new vehicle through CarExpert in September saved an average of $3484.
