In 2022 Volkswagen sold 30,946 vehicles in Australia.
Below you will see a visualization of how those sales compared to a decade ago in 2012.
In 2012 Volkswagen sold 54,835 vehicles in Australia and since then the German giant has grown and then contracted.
Below is a graphic representation of the top manufacturers’ sales over the past 25 years (1997 to 2022), including passenger vehicles, SUVs and both light and heavy commercial vehicles. The graph is interactive and you can choose to compare any number of manufacturers.
Sales of once-popular models such as the Golf have dropped significantly due to production constraints last year, as have sales of the Polo and Passat.
New models like the T-Roc have helped boost that number but the German brand is certainly looking for better results in 2023, if not quite a return to its mid-2010s glory days.
