A Subaru Forester wagon was burned out in the vehicle owner's driveway on Leumeah Road in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Central Western Police District received a call at around 3am after the sound of exploding glass alerted neighbours and the owner of the vehicle to the fire.
Officers patrolling the area around Leumeah Road arrived at the scene moments later, followed by Fire and Rescue NSW firefighters, who extinguished the blaze.
Chief Inspector Scott Rayner said the vehicle would be examined by the Forensic Evidence and Technical Services Command on Tuesday.

"We've established a task force across the district to investigate these matters," Chief Inspector Rayner said.
"We remind residents to be vigilant, not only with their own property but with the property of their neighbours and to report any suspicious behaviour occurring around their homes to police of Crime Stoppers."
