As expected, new vehicle sales in Australia during April 2021 were very positive, with VFACTS new vehicle registration figures, handed out today, confirming the numbers as the best April on record.
During April 2021, Australian consumers snapped up 92,347 vehicles. That’s up a whopping 137.2 per cent on April last year. But that is unsurprising considering that, during April last year, we were essentially at base camp looking up at the daunting peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. In other words, nobody was interested in buying cars. In fact, just 38,926 new vehicles were registered. The latest figures also confirm a 30.7 per cent increase on year-to-date (YTD) efforts.
