2023 is a new year and fresh start for the car industry. After facing many challenges throughout the past few years, including production closures, supply shortages and long delays, manufacturers took this time to develop a range of new models arriving on our shores this year!
Almost every major car brand has a new release coming to Australia in 2023 from utes, SUVs to EVs. Here's our round up of every car launch you need to know about in 2023.
Volkswagen Amarok
Due: April 2023
Aussies love a ute and the Volkswagen Amarok is up there as one of our favorites. Co-developed with Ford, the all-new Amarok is based off one of Australia’s best-selling cars the Ford Ranger.
Looking under the hood, car buyers will have a choice of a four-cylinder or V6 diesel Ford powered engine. VW have ensured drivers will experience a top-quality experience.
The interior is something to marvel at too. The all-new Amarok features a spacious cabin with a premium design. It’s packed full of exciting new technology as standard including matrix LED headlights, 12-inch infotainment display and 12-inch digital instrument cluster.
Pricing is yet to be confirmed. If you’re ready to drive the new Volkswagen Amarok, request a quote today.
Honda Civic Type R
Due: Now!
The most hyped Type R hatch to date has officially landed in Australia and is expected to be seen on our roads this month!
Order books have already stretched out 18-months.
Honda have continued to use the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine loved by Type R drivers. Small differences come in the form of a 15% stiffer body structure, 35mm longer, 25kg heavier and an all-new rear wing. It has been said the updated design is ‘more mature’ and less ‘cartoonish’ than previous versions.
The interior has had some updates too such as a 9.0-inch central infotainment screen in addition to a digital instrument pack behind the steering wheel.
Differentiating it from the regular Civic, the Type R features a redesigned center console highlighting the main aluminum gearshift center stick.
The price tag reflects the premium model at $76,200. From what we’ve read though the higher price is worth it.
Ford Mustang
Due: Q3 2023
The highly anticipated new Ford Mustang in, the first new model in 8-years, was debuted at last year’s Detroit Motor Show. Since then, customers have been excited for the release with interest peaking.
Based on the same underpinnings as the current model, the all-new Mustang features new body work, a technology overhaul, and an injection of power to offer the most powerful GT Mustang engine to date.
Ford have promised better performance and a superior driving experience.
Too appeal to the younger buyers love of large screens, Ford have installed a digital display that stretches across more than half the dashboard with graphics and animations like that found on a computer game.

The Hyundai IONIQ electric sub-brand has proven to be a great success for the manufacturer. Continuing to capitalize on the electric car wave in Australia, Hyundai have revealed their latest model the IONIQ 6 as a contender to the Tesla Model 3.
The IONIQ 6 is build with the same electric platform as the IONIQ 5 and features the choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. Hyundai’s new release boasts a dual electric motor accelerating the car to 100km/h in 5.1 seconds and a range of more than 610km.
As expected, there’s a strong tech offering with a 12-inch interior display, digital camera side ‘mirrors’ and semi-autonomous driving.
Pricing is yet to be revealed but is expected to be between $70,000 - $80,000 plus on-road costs.

Jeep Grand Cherokee
Due: Early 2023
The new Jeep Grand Cherokee was initially planned to launch in 2022, however was pushed back to early 2023 a few months ago. The exciting news though, Jeep is releasing the Grand Cherokee in both a petrol V6 powered engine and plug-in hybrid variants.
The five-seater SUV update is a huge improvement on its predecessor. The new model features a more refined and simplistic interior design with a spacious cabin. The designers thoughtfully considered the interior cabin to accommodate for both inner city family driving and the occasional weekend rugged road-tripping.
Although the hybrid isn’t due until the second half of this year, the ‘4xe’ already has great interest from car buyers. Especially following the Electric Car Discount Policy that this plug-in vehicle qualifies for.
