2024 New Car Calendar for Australia

There’s no shortage of new metal coming to Australia in 2024, from high-performance electric cars to city hatchback and diesel work utes. Here’s everything on the horizon.

As the Australian car market prepares to post an all-time record for new vehicle sales, there is a glut of fresh new cars, SUVs, utes and vans due in local showrooms in 2024 and beyond.

Last year (2023) was big for new-car launches, however 2024 is shaping up to be just as busy – as manufacturers look to not only introduce new models, but with stock shortages and production bottlenecks easing, have plenty of cars on the ground to sell.

Among the stars of the 2024 launch calendar is the new Toyota Prado, the first new model in close to 15 years, which is due in showrooms in the middle of the year – pending any delays.

The dual-cab ute category is set to welcome a new Mitsubishi Triton, a plug-in hybrid pick-up from Chinese car maker BYD, and the tray-backed version of last year’s Ineos Grenadier four-wheel-drive wagon.

New performance cars on the way include the new Ford Mustang, Mercedes-AMG C63 and electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, while for electric-car fans there is set to be the first battery-powered vehicles in Australia from Toyota, Subaru, Volkswagen and Jeep.

For buyers on a budget there is poised to be an all-new MG 3, new Suzuki Swift and updated Hyundai i30, while new family SUVs on the way include the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage hybrids, Skoda Kodiaq and BYD Seal U plug-in hybrid.

After working the phones leading up to and since the summer break, this is Drive’s exclusive up-to-date guide to every model confirmed (or expected) to launch in Australia in 2024 and beyond, correct as of the date below.

Drive will update this story progressively throughout the year with new models and updated dates, as they come to hand – however production interruptions and shipping delays across the car industry mean the information below is subject to change.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

Gambar
A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

2023 LDV T60 Max price and specs: Prices up by more than $4000

Gambar
The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals. LDV Australia has announced the T60 Max 4×4 ute has undergone a handful of tweaks for 2023 after its major facelift (and $5000 price hike) last year – resulting in a price increase of $4000 across the range for buyers with an ABN. But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
