Top 5 Foreign Cars that are the Most Popular in Australia

Although there are plenty of nice Australian-made cars available, some cars from other countries are especially Australians’ favourites.

There can be many reasons for this fondness such as super strong built, stylish interior or elegant looks.

Whatever may be the reason, it’s true that Australian car-lovers tend to import American cars to Australia with Import Direct Car Sales on a large scale.

Following are top 5 cars that Australians particularly love.

1. Toyota Kluger

The look and feel of the Kluger is American with its gutsy 3.5-litre V6 engine which easily pulls its two-tonne mass along and a nice specious practical interior.

The Kluger comes with the blend of Toyota’s quality and dependability and American styling, which makes it one of the most popular seven-seat soft-roaders on the Australian roads.

It also offers several variants with either all-wheel or front-wheel drive.

2. BMW X5

Almost all BMW SUVs are built in the US due to high demand. But X5 is in a high demand even in Australia.

It’s the most popular large SUV costing more than $70,000. This car is anything but thrifty and offers an excellent combination of comfort, driver enjoyment and practicality.

The X5 range includes rear– and all-wheel-drive choices with an option for diesel, petrol and hybrid powertrains.

3. Jeep Grand Cherokee

Among all the big SUVs, only a few come with the driveway cred of a big jeep.

It performs well for and handles a big unit and is available with a load of equipment, although is prominently devoid of a seven-seat option.

Made on the same platform as the far costlier Mercedes-Benz ML-Class big four-wheel-drive SUV, the 4X4 versions are very efficient off-road.

There are 4-engine options such as a 5.7-litre and Hemi 6.4-litre V8 petrols, 3.6-litre V6 petrol, and a 3.0-litre CRD turbo-diesel V6 among five variations.

4. Ford Mustang

As American as Botox and apple pie, the Ford Mustang is the top-selling sports car in Australia and has even beaten the locally made and admired Falcon.

It’s a strong, well-built car as can only be produced by the US of A even if you include the models run by the 4-cylinder 2.3-litre turbo Ecoboost engine.

In addition to being a head-turner, it’s a reliable daily drive that’s available in coupe and convertible body styles.

So powerful is its glamour that you’ll easily bear the messy and somewhat shoddy interior.

5. Nissan Pathfinder

The Pathfinder is another ‘foreign’ SUV designed for the US market and a great value family wagon, having seven seats, a lot of equipment and ample space.

It can come with a petrol V6 engine or even as an electric-petrol hybrid to save fuel in the cities.

All-wheel drive and front-wheel drive versions are available.

Australian car-lovers love these foreign cars and like to import cars by Import Direct Car Sales or other equally reliable car import company.

As COVID-19 is slowly calming down, more and more Australians are again buying foreign cars although SUVs were not very popular just a decade ago and large sedans topped the worldwide sales.

If you too are looking for a foreign car, choose among these or look for more options, and buy one.
