When you think of Italian cars you tend to think to sleek, stylish and sporty. Some of the Australia’s favourite brands are from Italy, although you might need a hefty car loan to cover the costs.
Here are the six Italian car brands available in Australia in 2026:
- Abarth
- Alfa Romeo
- Ferrari
- Fiat
- Lamborghini
- Maserati
Abarth
Despite being founded in 1949, Abarth is probably the least known name on the list. Like many Italian cars, Abarth has its roots in motor racing and is still a huge force in the rally world.
Despite its sporting prowess, the three models available in Australia both fall into the city car category:
- The 500e is a small electric option (driving range of around 250km) that comes in two vibrant colours. It currently has a driveaway price of $44,000.
- The 695 is a petrol car that could be the perfect zippy runaround. The driveaway price for the standard model is $43k (manual) or $45k (automatic).
- A new addition to the line up, the 695 has a 75 anniversario edition available in Australia. Limited to just 75 units, you’ll have to be quick if you want one of these special variations.
Abarth is owned by the same parent company as Fiat.
Alfa Romeo
More than a century old, Alfa Romeo is a brand that’s lasted the test of time. There are currently six options available in Australia:
- Giulia (driveaway price from $84,162)
- Giulia Quadrifoglio ($168,831)
- Junior ($51,883)
- Stelvio ($104,207)
- Tonale ($88,927)
- Tonale plug-in hybrid ($65,732)
While the Giulia options are mid-size sedans, the others are all SUVs to fit in with the demand of the Aussie market.
The Giulia, Stelvio and Tonale models are available as an Intensa variant, which gives un upgraded trim
Driveaway prices for the basic models vary from just over $50k to more than triple that amount, with a change of colour or other variations adding onto the bill.
Ferrari
The ultimate bucket list car for many Aussies, Ferrari has a global reputation for creating high performance luxury cars.
To the untrained eye, most of the 19 Ferrari models available in Australia look very similar: low bodies, normally in red and often convertible. Some, like the two Monza options, take the classic design to new heights. Both are limited editions but definitely won’t pass for school runs – the Monza SP1 only has one seat.
Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider is the most expensive new car in Australia in 2026, with a driveaway price of $1,015,589.
Bear in mind that not just anyone can buy a Ferrari. There are some models that, even if you walk into a dealership with hard cash, are limited by dealer connections and rapport.
Fiat
The oldest company on the list, Fiat dates back to 1899. This makes it the ninth oldest car manufacturer in the world, with the French Peugeot brand the oldest.
Fiat endures in Australia with just two passenger vehicles: the 500 (driveaway price $32,836) and 500e ($38,990). Those looking for a van might be interested in the Ducato, which starts from $53,990.
The Fiat 500 was originally designed in 1957 and has undergone tweaks and redesigns over the year, most recently in 2007. The electric version debuted in 2024.
Lamborghini
Rivalling Ferrari for prestige and power, Lamborghini is another iconic Italian brand that, honestly, most Aussies will only ever admire from afar.
If you do have the purchasing power, there are currently four Lamborghini models available in Australia after the Aventador and Gallardo were withdrawn from dealerships last year:
- Huracan
- Revuelto
- Temerario
- Urus
The Temerario (from $613,885) is a new addition to Australia, arriving here in early 2026. With a top speed of 343km/h, it’s a supercar that lives up to the badge.
Lambos also rival Ferraris for price. The Lamborghini Revuelto is the second most expensive car in Australia at the moment, with a new model costing $987,000 at a minimum.
Maserati
Italian car brands have shown incredible longevity, with the Maserati another company with more than a century’s history. Established in 1914, Maserati has established themselves as yet another high-end Italian car manufacturer.
There are currently five Maserati models available in Australia, down from eight in 2025. Although the Grecale is an SUV, the others are all low, sporty options, with many convertible choices.
While prices aren’t as high as Ferraris or Lamborghinis, they’re higher than the average car you see on the road. The Grecale GT starts at $127,789, the Levante GT at $176,509 and the Ghibli GT $178,609.
