What Car? also had an Australian edition entitled (more correctly, in terms of grammar) Which Car?, which was published between 1995 and 2000 by ACP Magazines, who also publish the popular Wheels Magazine. It was initially a monthly publication, then quarterly, then bi monthly; it was a very successful magazine at first, but its readership began to decrease and it ceased publication in 2000.

More recently What Car? launched an edition, published in India every two months.

Whilst What Car? used to be extremely successful, it is now outsold by its main competitor, BBC Magazines' Top Gear Magazine, by 70,000 copies per issue.
