VFACTS, TOYOTA GOES HYBRID ONLY PLUS THE BEST ROYAL CARS | THE CAREXPERT PODCAST

EV Channels Review

The CarExpert Podcast discusses the latest VFACTS sales data, highlighting a record month with over 111,000 deliveries. Toyota remains the top seller, with strong performance from models like the Ranger, HiLux, and RAV4. The podcast notes a significant drop in Tesla sales, attributing it to increased competition and price cuts. A major focus is Toyota's strategic shift to hybrid-only powertrains for most of its passenger car range, including popular models like the Corolla and Camry. This move is seen as a response to market demand and potentially upcoming efficiency standards, though the exclusion of the RAV4 hybrid from Australia is questioned. The episode also touches on the enduring popularity of the Kia Carnival and Hyundai Kona, and briefly explores the royal family's diverse automotive tastes, from classic Aston Martins to Land Rover Defenders.
