The pie charts illustrate the changes in the proportion of the new car sales by different vehicle genres, namely Sedans, SUVs, and Others, in Australia in April 1994, 2004, and 2013.
Overall, it is evident that while the sales of new cars of Sedans registered a substantial decline, the reverse was true for SUVs and Others. Notably, Sedans remained the most dominant and the total of new car sales nearly doubled throughout the entire timeframe.
Focusing on Sedans, this vehicle type accounted for about three-quarters of all new car sales in 1994, at 74%. This figure remarkably plummeted to 62% in 2004, followed by a significant dip to just over half of all new car sales by 2013, at 51%.
In contrast, SUVs and Others represented a considerably smaller shares in the initial year, at 7% and 19% respectively. The percentage of SUVs more than doubled to 17% over a period of a decade from 1994, before plateauing at that share by 2013. Meanwhile, Others witnessed a gradual climb to 21% in 2004, and this data continued to rise, considerably growing to just under one-third of all car sales by 2013, at 32%.
