In 2012 Kia sold 31,048 vehicles in Australia, and over the last decade the South Korean brand has grown substantially to be larger than Hyundai.
Below is a graphical representation of the top manufacturers sales over the last 25 years (1997 to 2022), inclusive of passenger vehicles, SUVs, and both light and heavy commercial vehicles. This graph is interactive and you can pick to compare any number of manufacturers.
