A small rule change being proposed could block thousands of hybrid vehicles from being imported into Australia.
Not because people don’t want them…
But because of a legislative red tape.
Let’s be real..
These imports are:
- More fuel efficient
- Better optioned and Spec'd
- Often more affordable than local options
And in many cases… they’re the exact cars Australians are trying to get their hands on.
If this goes ahead, expect:
- Less choice
- Higher prices
- More control over what you can (and can’t) drive
At Top Secret Imports, we deal with this space every day — and this kind of change doesn’t just impact businesses… it impacts every buyer in the market.
The question is simple:
Should Australians have access to the best cars globally — or be limited by rules like this?

Last year around 10,000 fuel-efficient vehicles entered Australia via the private import process, but a new rule will change that.
