Why it matters: The excitement seems to have prompted Toyota to reword a press release that referred to the Camry as an Australian bestseller.

The Japanese automaker said: “Toyota vehicles were the best-selling models in nine market segments last year: Corolla (small cars), Camry (mid-size cars <$60,000), RAV4 (mid-size SUVs), LandCruiser Prado (large SUVs), LandCruiser Wagon ( upper large SUVs), HiAce (light buses), HiAce (vans), HiLux (4×2 PU/CC) and HiLux (4×4 PU/CC),” according to Electrek.

The addition of “less than $60,000” in the press release suggests that Tesla caught Toyota by surprise when it topped it, Electrek noted.

In Australia, the Model 3 starts at $64,000 while the Carmy starts at $30,000.

In December it was reported that Tesla Model Y could become the best-selling vehicle in 2023 global. In 2021, the Model Y was the 19th best-selling vehicle worldwide.
