What surprised the CarExpert team the most during 2024
- Paul Maric of CarExpert expected Kia's Tasman ute to have an ambitious and brave design, but was surprised by the drivetrain they chose to go with.
- Marton Pettendy of CarExpert was surprised by the rate at which Chinese auto brands arrived in the Australian market this year and captured a solid foothold.
- James Wong found it surprising that despite PHEVs being a great middle ground for local car buyers looking to step into electrification, the EV-angelists and greenwashing governing bodies in Australia have an anti-PHEV agenda.
- William Stopford was surprised by the sheer number of Chinese brands announcing their entry into the Australian market and the range of brands arriving through new importers.
- Jordan Mulach noted that hybrid vehicle sales in Australia are increasing and may encourage car companies to bring more efficient vehicles to local showrooms.
- Jack Quick was surprised by the pricing of the Toyota Tundra in Australia, as it is the most expensive full-sized pickup available before looking at more specialised options.
- Josh Nevett was not expecting Toyota to join the Australian Supercars Championship grid from 2026 with the Supra, as the race category is declining in popularity and Toyota already has extensive motorsport exposure.
- Max Davies was also surprised by the design of the Kia Tasman ute, which is unique and will stand out in the Australian market, but may require some tweaks to improve its controversial appearance.
