Hit the road this summer with December’s top car loans

Easing border restrictions, warm weather and some well-deserved time off are the perfect ingredients for a great Aussie road trip. Perhaps all that’s missing is the car.

Over the year, new car sales experienced 11 straight months of year-on-year growth, even reaching historic levels, before eventually recording declining figures in the past two months. 

Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries’ chief executive, Tony Weber, puts the recent declines down to “well recognised international supply chain issues”.

“This includes constraints around microprocessor supplies as well as the ongoing impact of the pandemic restricting factories,” Mr Weber said.

Many Australians who have not wanted to wait for their new car to arrive have shifted their focus to the used car market, which in turn has also seen exponential growth over the past 12 months.

Meanwhile, hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) sales have surged in 2021, as various state and nationwide incentives and funding packages for EVs were announced in recent months.

While demand for all types of road vehicles has climbed over the year, car loan interest rates have remained competitive.
