Holden passenger vehicle numbers decline in Australia

Data from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE) reveals that Holden passenger vehicle registrations in Australia have reached 1,000,292 as of January 2026. Despite remaining the fourth most common brand on Australian roads behind Toyota, Mazda, and Hyundai, the number of Holden vehicles is declining.

Since 2024, there has been a 15.7 per cent reduction in Holden passenger vehicles on Australian roads. The tally decreased by 94,936 vehicles between 2025 and 2026. This attrition is attributed to owners discarding vehicles when maintenance costs exceed vehicle value, as well as collisions and damage.

Other brands have also seen declines in passenger vehicle registrations since 2024. Ford registrations fell by 7.1 per cent, Jeep by 7.2 per cent, Honda by 2.3 per cent, and Renault by 3.0 per cent.
