Top 10 Best-Selling SUVs in AUS for 2027 But BYD is BANNED?!

VFACTS sales are IN!! And one of them comes from a brand that just got banned from a US Air Force base. Feann counts down the SUVs Aussies are actually buying: Mazda CX-5, Toyota Prado, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Everest, GWM Haval Jolion, Hyundai Kona and Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, then a podium of Tesla Model Y, Toyota RAV4 and BYD Sealion 7. We'll let him tell you who takes gold. Three of the top 10 are Chinese brands, and China has now overtaken Japan as Australia's biggest source of new cars. Also on Buckle Up this week: BYD, Australia's number two car brand, is barred from Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, and Defence Minister Richard Marles says Australia hasn't taken that step. BMW says EV sales have saved the M5's V8 and the M350's inline six. Toyota's GR Celica returns as a Rally1 car for the 2027 WRC. Ford confirms a new ute for international markets, with base material costs it says will be 20% lower than today's Ranger. And Xiaomi, the smartphone giant behind the SU7 and YU7, is hiring in Sydney, with right-hand drive due in 2028. Then the second wave: Wey, iCaur, Hongqi, Rox Motor, Avatr, Nevo, Jetour, Exlantix, Luxeed, Freelander, Wuling and Nio, plus the Chery Tiggo X7 that looks like a shrunken Prado. Feann's underrated SUVs are the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-6e, GWM Tank 500, VW Tiguan, Skoda Karoq, Leapmotor B10 and Subaru Outback. Rapid fire covers the 2027 Zeekr 7X, Mazda's Changan EVs, Kia, the Chery Stockman, JAC's Everest rival, the Nissan Navara Pro PHEV and the XPeng G9L.
