The 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards cut through the noise to highlight the top vehicles across every major segment of the Australian new car market. From affordable hatchbacks to cutting-edge EVs and go-anywhere off-roaders, our expert team has evaluated each finalist based on what truly matters to Aussie drivers – value, performance, practicality, safety, and technology. Unlike traditional 'Car of the Year' awards, the CarExpert Choice Awards focus on how Australians actually buy and use their vehicles. Every winner has been rigorously tested, debated, and backed by the full weight of CarExpert’s independent, data-driven editorial standards.

Cutting Through the Noise
The 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards represent a new standard in the recognition of Australian automotive excellence, focusing on categories that reflect how Australians actually shop for cars. Unlike traditional industry awards, our approach centres on real-world relevance, practicality and value, and the everyday driving experience that matters most to Australian families and businesses.
Every winner has been rigorously evaluated by the CarExpert editorial team, drawing on thousands of hours of testing and a deep understanding of Australia's unique auto market and conditions. From city cars perfect for urban commuting to off-road SUVs built for outback adventures, our awards celebrate vehicles that excel where it counts – on Australian roads, in Australian conditions, for Australian buyers.
Our editorial independence ensures every recommendation is made purely with the car buyer in mind, free from commercial influence. Whether you're seeking luxurious refinement, affordable value, cutting-edge electric technology, or rugged all-terrain capability, the CarExpert Choice Awards recognise the vehicles that truly deliver on their promises.
