I break down 12 brand-new vehicles that Australian buyers are walking straight past in 2026 — and the reasons behind their struggle to sell.

Using the latest VFX and Electric Vehicle Council sales data, I look at models including the Toyota Tundra, Kia Tasman, RAM 1500, Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Jeep Avenger. I cover pricing, powertrains, competition, brand confidence and the changing Australian market.

I also explain why slow sales could create negotiating opportunities, while warning that a big discount can carry risks if servicing, parts supply or resale value are uncertain.
