Sorry, I was trying to make it easier for Americans to understand (there are a lot more Americans than Aussies here, obviously). As for the sales charts, the top four selling vehicles on the list are utes/pickups: https://www.racv.com.au/royalauto/transport/cars/australian-new-car-sales-2024.html https://www.racv.com.au/royalauto/transport/cars/australian-... The other thing to understand is that the Golf (which is a surprisingly large car these days), Corolla, Accent, Polo, and even the Yaris are a class or two bigger than the Seagull. They're roughly comparable to the BYD Dolphin in size.

Fair enough. I can't find the data, but I'd be curious to see a list that splits off vehicles for work purposes compared to personal. There are various tax benefits to "100% work vehicles" that people claim. > They're roughly comparable to the BYD Dolphin in size. I haven't see this car in person, but it sounds like you're describing a kaicar compared to a subcompact? The Seagull is 3780 long by 1540 high. The Yaris (XP210) is 3940 long by 1500 high. The Golf (MK8) is 4284 long by 1456 high. The Accent (HC) is 4190 long by 1450 high. The Corolla (E10) is 4370 long by 1435 high. The Polo (MK6) is 4053 long by 1438 high. I did pick length and height as what I suspected to be reasonable for estimating "size" based on volume here. They're all within 50cm in length, and the Seagull is the tallest of them. So what defines the sizing class here?

  Put it this way - a Toyota Camry, which these days is a big sedan with heaps of legroom in the back - is 4885mm in length. So the length difference between the Corolla and Camry is less than the difference between the Seagull and Camry. Kei cars are smaller again, with a maximum length of 3.4 metres.
