New Car Calendar

Here's everything you can expect to see touch down on Australian shores in 2021, and when!


The year 2020 was one that many would like to forget, and the automotive industry is no exception.

Lockdowns and economic slowdowns brought on by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic translated exactly as you'd expect for Australia's new-car sales, with a staggering 48.5 per cent sales decline in April, contributing to an overall market down 13.7 per cent by the end of the year.

Despite the sales slowdowns and production delays caused by COVID-19, 2020 was still a relatively strong year in terms of new model launches, with highlights from the year ranging from the rapid Ford Fiesta ST and Mercedes-AMG A45 S hot hatches in the first half of the year, to the new-generation Isuzu D-Max and Kia Sorento toward the year's end.



This new year of 2021 promises to be equally exciting, with this year set to host the launches of the controversial BMW M3 and M4, crucial new-generation Nissan Qashqai, and hybrid versions of the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs.

However, much of the 2021 calendar remains unclear at this stage, with many new models due over the next few months yet to be revealed, or still to be locked in for our market. We expect any models you see below to arrive as described.

We'll be updating this story weekly as new information comes to light, be it the reveal of a new model, or simply the announcement of its Australian launch date.
