Top car models revealed, hybrids hold steadySurging living costs, high fuel prices and supply chain logjams have been blamed for declining new car sales. After strong sales in May, the latest Motor Industry Association (MIA) data showed June vehicle registrations were down. Four models, all of them SUVs or utes, were responsible for nearly a quarter of New Zealand vehicle sales this year so far. Total vehicle sales were down year-on-year from the same time in 2021. Last month, Toyota was top with 18 per cent market share and 2209 units, with Mitsubishi selling 2006 units.
