What happens when the brand behind your car starts disappearing from Australia? I examine ten struggling or departing car brands and explain what their sales, importer changes and shrinking dealer networks mean for Australian drivers.
I cover Nissan, Alfa Romeo, Lotus, XPeng, Maserati, Fiat, Jeep, Peugeot, Jaguar and Citroen, including the risks around servicing, warranties, spare parts and resale value. I also explain why Honda and Mitsubishi are not on the list, despite their recent challenges.
I finish with practical advice on Australian Consumer Law, the right to repair scheme, warranty conditions, recalls and what to check before buying from a shrinking brand. All figures are based on Australian new-vehicle sales data and published sources current to the end of August 2026.
