Australia’s New Road Rules from 1 July 2025: What Every Driver Should Know

What This Means for You

This update is expected to impact a wide range of models—especially hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles that fall between the old and new thresholds. Only a small number of ultra-efficient or electric vehicles will continue to qualify for the higher LCT threshold.

If you’re planning a vehicle purchase or lease in the 2025–26 financial year, now is the time to review your options.
