BUYERS continue to be the big winners in an unprecedented small car price war.
The Toyota Corolla has ended the Hyundai i30’s record four-month winning streak, according to sales figures for July.
The Toyota Corolla overtook the Hyundai i30 after its sales hit the brakes once the Korean car’s previous discount of $7500 was removed.
The Hyundai i30 — which posted an 11-year sales high in June across all vehicle types — took a massive dive in July, with deliveries down by a staggering 65 per cent, from 6400 to just 2200.
For most of this year the Hyundai i30 hatchback has been priced at $19,990 drive-away for an automatic model, a discount of about $7500 off the full RRP.
But in July Hyundai increased the price to $22,990 drive-away for the i30 automatic.
That’s still a discount of $4500 off the full RRP, however it shows buyers are becoming more savvy about when to shop for a bargain.
Mazda was a casualty of the duel between the Corolla and the Hyundai, with sales of its small car down so dramatically that it failed to finish inside the Top 10 for the first time in memory.
It turns out it was caught short of its Mazda3 as the company switched from the old model to an updated version.

Despite the bitter battle at the top of the market, the Hyundai i30 narrowly holds onto the lead when sales for the first seven months of the year are tallied — even though it finished fourth in July.

The big improvers were the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger pick-ups, both posting strong sales growth and finishing inside the Top Three.
Ford scored yet another win over Toyota, with the Ranger outselling the 4WD version of the HiLux pick-up for the fourth time in seven months, and the second month in a row.
But Toyota was still popping champagne corks, with the HiLux leading the Ranger when all models are counted, and having four vehicles inside the Top 10.
Hyundai outsold Holden for the seventh month in a row, Mitsubishi and Nissan continued to battle for sixth place, and Volkswagen again posted a sales slide after selling out of its Tiguan SUV ahead of the arrival of an all-new model.
Hyundai’s sister brand Kia continued to surge up the sales ladder, posting a 30 per cent increase on the same month last year as it aims to close the gap to its parent company.
In the process, Kia and Subaru once again edged Honda out of the Top 10.
With dealers still digesting cars reported as sold in June — but not yet delivered to paying customers — the bargains are expected to continue in August.
Note: Contrary to widespread belief, new car sales figures are based on claims by dealers and manufacturers, they are not based on new vehicle registrations.
