A completely different Chinese vehicle, the BYD Shark 6, was the best -selling PHEV in Australia in the first quarter of 2025.
BYD sold almost twice as many examples of his UTE than the next best -selling PHEV, the Mitsubishi Outlander, while buyers hurry to take advantage of the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemption for PHEVs that expired on 1 April.
The Shark 6 was also without any direct competition, although that will in particular change with the arrival of PHEV versions of the Ford Ranger and GWM Cannon Alpha.
Strong sale of Shark 6 and Sealion 6 PHEVs helped compensation -drops for BYD’s electric models.
BYD was the largest seller of Australia and delivered more than twice as much as second place Mitsubishi and good for 50 percent of the total PHEV market.
Mitsubishi, in turn, delivered more than twice as many PHEVs as Mazda, despite the fact that the latter now had a second PHEV model-de CX-80.
GWM jumped to fourth place with the launch of his first PHEV in Australia, the Haval H6 GT, while Kia took fifth place.
In particular, Kia was also a top five seller of EVs in the same period, although the brand sold more than five times as many EVs as PHEVs.
