What is Drive.com.au?
Drive.com.au is an Australian automotive media and listings portal owned by Nine Entertainment. It combines car reviews, news and video with new and used vehicle listings from dealers. Its network reaches 4M+ Australians per month, and in August 2025 Drive extended into a 24/7 streaming channel on Nine’s 9Now platform — a media-first positioning distinct from the classifieds-led carsales and Gumtree networks.
Market Position
Drive.com.au reaches 4M+ Australians per month across its network, anchored by Nine Entertainment’s media reach rather than pure classifieds scale. It sits behind carsales and the Gumtree Group in listings volume but carries strong new-car and dealer coverage tied to its editorial audience. Its data is most valuable for new-car and dealer-offer benchmarking within the broader Australian market picture.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each Drive.com.au listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, variant, year, body type, fuel type, transmission
- Condition & pricing — odometer (mileage, used), listed price and drive-away price
- Specification — options and feature lists
- Listing context — dealer, location, photo gallery
Drive’s mix of new-car drive-away pricing and dealer used-car listings complements the classifieds-led portals for full-market AU pricing coverage.
