What happened
Citroën ceased operations in Australia on November 9, 2026, following poor sales performance. The Australian Automotive Dealer Association (AADA) reported that the industry experienced its first negative quarterly profitability since the global financial crisis during the September quarter. Citroën is the most recent long-established brand to exit the Australian market.

Why it matters
The AADA warns that the rapid influx of new car brands is creating risks for the Australian market, including rapid vehicle depreciation, longer repair times, and supply lags. Dealers are facing intense competition and rising business costs due to the sheer number of manufacturers operating in the country.
