  • Models younger than 25 years and originally sold new in Aust will still be blocked for import BUT different “variants” will be allowed – e.g. hybrid, turbocharged, 4WD etc.

  • Many new hybrid, electric and kei cars will be available – any model not sold new in Aust that meets the environmental criteria
