If you want to jump on the EV (band)wagon and are considering additional offerings that aren't Made in China, here's one from South Korea:

Hyundai are having a Black Friday Event for the mid and top spec MY23 IONIQ 6. Basically you can get a decent upgrade to the mid-spec AWD from the base model RWD. And mid-spec gets upgrade to top spec (with digital side mirrors!)

Driveaway prices seem to vary from state to state so I've approximated, but here's their overview:

Enjoy a FREE upgrade from the DYNAMIQ to a TECHNIQ variant, valued up to $10,500#. Or upgrade from the TECHNIQ variant to an EPIQ valued up to $5,288#. Offer from November 24-27. MY23 vehicles only. T&Cs apply.

          nothing wrong with buying a 10k second hand car and using it for 10 years if you can.

          Unfortunately since COVID, the car market is all kinds of messed up. It's much more difficult to buy and run a cheap reliable car than it used to be.

          • TexasVujicic on 24/11/2023 - 11:37

            @Nom: respectfully disagree. car prices second hand have gone up, sure. but they're still not unreachable.

            I bought my car for 8500 in 2018, the equivalent would "only" be maybe 9500-10000 if im lucky, same condition.

        Hyundai/Kia are not what they used to be. I've got an Audi and I think the new Hyundais and Kias are better cars.
        Someone told me that Hyundai/Kia recruited a bunch of the Audi design team and it looks like it. The latest models are top notch.

          If you really want to narrow it down, it's the Hyundai-Kia group vs Toyota Group.

          In Australia, the Hyundai-Kia motor group are now the second biggest seller of vehicles, and their only real commercial vehicle is the iLoad. Once the Kia Tasman ute is released in ~18months, no motor group in Australia will come close to the Hyundai-Kia and Toyota duopoly.

          Mazda, Honda, Nissan, etc are still all good quality vehicles… but they're starting to lag behind H-K & Toyota imo (for cars - Honda, Suzuki, and Kawaski still make the best sports bikes).

          Obviously, we're not comparing to Porsches… yet. The Hyundai N74 looked promising, and who knows where Genesis might go with it.

        911 looks great, but if you stuck its end randomly on a Camry (or Hyundai) etc. without the coherent design and shape it wouldn't.

        Wtf these cars look nothing alike.

        The 911 is a Sportscar with a fastback, the Ioniq 6 is a family car shaped like an egg.

        If you remember the egg shaped Ford Taurus from the late 90's that is what this thing is. It's fugly as sin…

              @Franc-T: Ionic 6 design is definitely not as original or as good as Ionic 5.

              They tried to take design clues from Porche 911 Carrera but being a 4 door sedan that side stretch doesn't blend with front and back.

        I honestly can't work out what they were thinking with this design. The EV6 and EV9 look very modern, this thing looks like a throw back to worst of the 90's

        Not a fan of them, just can't be beaten for features or price. Styling is hit and miss and besides the benefit of a clutter free interior they're quite plain.

        Besides the BYDs emerging and sorry but I'll pay a bit extra for a much better product.

          I am not sure what you are comparing but the Ioniq 6 seems to offer more technology and better build quality compared to tesla's, and more luxerious interior.
          While it may be more expensive, is it really if we compare the AWD M-3, it appears to outperform the Model 3, it also features a larger battery pack and impressive driving performance.
          And it is bigger.

          BTW I'm not really into the look of either the Ioniq 6 or the Model 3.

          I'd still go the byd, Hyundai may be on the more reliable side for ICE but the EV's are a bit hit and miss. Mate had his back for a complete battery replacement within 6 months of owning it and ever since has had niggling issues with failing sensors etc.

    Sweet, depreciation central for EVs at the moment.

    With how quickly battery and charging tech is moving in the EV space, probably best to let all these early adopters buy them up and wait for prices to come down to more reasonable levels.

    • panderiz on 23/11/2023 - 23:08

      That is one of the factors in owning an EV on my mind, almost all cars depreciate though and those aren't saving you 75% in running costs….

      If you're eligible the leasing benefits right now are rediculously good as well.

      the only chance EV's have is if Governments bans ICE cars like in Europe and you have no choice but to buy one.
      Its crap tech, crap car, BAD price, 0 benefit , strain on our crappy energy network and offers no real "green" benefit at all.
      its an industry that needs to be propped up with subsidies and incentives to survive.
      If it was great it would have been embraced by all by now, but its a bad scam and I would rather drive a 10 year old KIA then and EV

      • Ramrunner on 24/11/2023 - 12:48

        That's pretty short sighted on some of those points.

        Why is the tech crap? Why is the car crap?

        Benefit is cheaper running costs ($0 ENERGY running cost if you have rooftop solar and battery like a friend of mine has). The strain on our network has yet to prove itself, but that is not to say it won't happen I'll give you that one but again, I really do see in the next 5-6 years more renewable energy being produced from solar, wind and to a lesser extent hydro, geothermal and tidal.

        Countries like Iceland and Costa Rica have 100% of their energy needs served by renewable energy. It's no coincidence Canada, Iceland and Norway have some of the lowest electricity costs in the world due to switching to renewables.

        Our pollies are very slow and short-sighted but I honestly think the pressure on the environment and from other countries will eventually swap out our expensive and high resource intensive energy production to green sources.

        So what I'm saying is these cars can choose to run "green" by installing your own solar and maybe some storage, but eventually will run greener due to alternate methods of energy production anyway.

        So my views differ here botchie, you say "the only chance EV's have is if Governments bans ICE cars like in Europe" like they're about to die, but I, in fact, think these cars will not only survive but thrive as we progress further down the track.

        You only have to look at major car's manufacturer's policies to see most wil not even produce ICE beyond 2030.

        I'm sorely going to miss the sound of big V8s (please don't touch our supercars or the F1!!!) but progress can and will happen, no matter how tightly you try to hold on to your old beliefs.

        Just my opinion mate - not having a go at you but my reading conflicts with almost everything you're saying.

        • botchie on 24/11/2023 - 13:29

          cheaper ruining cost for who? your mate that
          A - has a house,
          B - enough roof space to put solar
          C - too much cash to buy a battery - which at max is only 13KW and cost $15,000 (saving what! LOL) and these cars take in 90 KW to charge
          by the time he buys the car, all of the above to "save" then buys a new car in 10 years when his battery goes to crap and an extra car for his family so he can take them on trips hes spending 10X the cost of me who has a Tiguan and its 5 years old now - sub 50k car

          and if you think these cars that rely on lithium are the green option then I am sorry but you need to educate yourself more and not just read first article that pops up on google

          look over to SA to see what green energy brings you - more expansive power prices, proven for the last X years - how much longer you need to start reversing the trend? 5 - 10 years? when will it go down?

            @botchie: If you run 500km per day then EV is not for you.

            Otherwise you seem pretty intelligent, you should know it doesn't take 90KW to charge. I mean seriously? That's 182,500km per year. Fair enough MAYBE if you're an Uber or Taxi and have no other life. C'mon now don't be silly it's a top up not a full charge every day.

            You have no proof the battery will go to crap in 10 years. FUD. Although reports indicated that yes, you will lose capacity they do not all "crap out".

            Never said anything about lithium I was careful to only say green running costs - don't put words in my mouth. And everyone with these arguments always seem to forget ICE cars need recycling also. It isn't a 0<->100% comparison.

            Recycling companies such as Northvolt are reporting 97% recycle on EV batteries. Is that the first article you are referring to? If not feel free to link the one you mean. Further reading seems to indicate similar sort of resource retrieval from EV batteries in other articles. And I'm sure it's only going to get better in the future or do you disagree with that?

            My family actually owns all ICE cars - don't get me wrong I'm still very much on the fence about what our next car will be, I'm not an EV lover, but I also keep an open mind.

            I appreciate your point of view but I just don't see any facts in your argument. Sorry. Feel free to link reputable articles. Like I said I do keep an open mind and research this stuff but all the articles I've read (no, not the first ones that pop up on Google - again don't make this an insult on my intelligence) indicate other that what you are saying.

              @Ramrunner: What research to you need ?
              Evs are not cheap , you can figure that out
              You only save if you already have lots of cash for a house , solar and battery and even then the savings are not there as you are buying more expansive car
              Ev batteries are crap and lose charge
              There are no easy option to charge if you want to travel
              You try and sell a second hand Ev and ass how much it depreciates
              All this points to EVs are cool toys for rich but not real useful in real world just yet
              Maybe in 10 years when infrastructure is there, longer battery life , cheaper power
              But until then it's not the best use of one's money in my humble opinion

                        @botchie: Everyone's situation differs but for a lot of people, EV's are definitely cheaper to run except under some circumstances (eg if you do a lot of long distance driving and have to charge using public chargers all the time) and I don't know why you believe that's not the case. FBT exemption available with novated lease option makes it a no brainer.
                        Even if you buy outright, it's cheaper because most people who buy EV's will charge at home, some with solar, and there's barely any maintenance cost if you buy a Tesla. You speak like someone who just read a bunch of stuff online but have no actual clue about what owning an EV is like.
                        We have switched from a BMW X3 30d to Tesla Model Y and travelled 22,000kms in 14 months with only a few hundred dollars spent on charging costs. Absolutely no regrets and would never go back to an ICE car.

                        @botchie: Some models it's starting to make sense compared to a comparable ICE.
                        Corolla $29-40k
                        Cerato $26-36k
                        Mazda 3 $27-43k

                        Arguably comparable to:
                        GWM Ora $40-52k
                        BYD Dolphin $39-50k
                        MG4 $39-48k
                        Add in Govt rebates 3-6k in some states.
                        Add in Novated Lease benefits.

                        The question is who is buying the top spec ICE car?

                        Do you get paid enough for the tax incentives of an EV novated lease?

                        There is no doubt it is cheaper to charge an EV than it is to fill a petrol car at the moment.
                        It isn't always like that, there was a comparison in the UK when a hybrid car was the cheapest to run given electricity prices and fuel costs there.

                        EV is not for everybody, but in the right instances it can be cheaper.
                        Incentives to charge at 8c kwh at night etc.

                        I am comparing NEW cars here, and not second hand vehicle market.

                          @dasher86: you are comparing tax incentives and novated leases
                          what i originally said, unless governments hand out - Evs are dead
                          BYD needs to be around $30k to get equal ICE

                          point me to a sub $50k EV that is fit for a family - i will wait.

                          it cant be cheaper, it requires huge outlays, home, solar etc
                          sell me an EV if I was a family of 5 living in an apartment…..

                            @botchie: You actually said if gov ban ICE cars not incentives for EV.

                            With incentives a EV can get ~$35k.

                            You don't need solar to run an EV.
                            My off-peak rate is 16c a kWh
                            To charge a battery that is 60kw and range will go 420km is about ~$10.
                            How much would it cost in an ICE?

                            point me to a sub $50k EV that is fit for a family - i will wait.

                            Define family? I know families that are happy with their hatch back.
                            BYD Atto3 would be close, it's a small to medium size SUV.

                            Not much range in EVs yet for a larger sized car if that is what you mean.

                            sell me an EV if I was a family of 5 living in an apartment

                            This comment shows you're against EVs not woke green movement.

                            EVs are not for everyone and every situation.

                              @dasher86: government manipulation - why should governments spend peoples tax dollars to give to rich for their EVs?
                              makes no sense

                              family car - one that can fit 2 adults and 3 kids
                              one that you can take on trips etc

                              exactly my points, Evs are not for everyone , its a toy car
                              it doesnt save you $$, you first need to have money to buy one, its not for everyone - yes I agree

      Nope, just hands down better in every way ***depending on your situation.

      If anyone thinks they as an individual will somehow make choice to save the planet they are deluded.

      They are in the long run a better choice, the myths out there to the contrary are garbage clickbait.

      • Justice Edelman on 24/11/2023 - 00:15

        They're more reliable in every way, but 'better' is a stretch; that's largely subjective to the purchaser.

        I, for one, would not fork over 90k for a fabric seat blend, large panel gaps, artificial engine noise and touch screen climate controls. I'd much rather a 6.2L V8 in a German muscle E63. But again, that is personal preference.

        I'll raise a further issue in that I don’t think we should be giving the average Australian affordable / accessible power in the form of EVs. We see figures of sub 4s 0-100 / high torque / bhp in consumer vehicles. This was previously reserved for enthusiasts, where primarily (not always) only enthusiasts would fork over for the gnarly power and potential - individuals, more often than not, whom are experienced operating such machines due to their passion. Now you're giving clueless Aussies, who are already on average sorta shit drivers power they can't comprehend. Expect this to show issue as more powerful EVs become the norm.

        • Franc-T on 24/11/2023 - 03:01

          I, for one, would not fork over 90k for a fabric seat blend, large panel gaps, artificial engine noise and touch screen climate controls.

          The large panel gaps are really an issue with Teslas. The Touch screen climate controls are a curse, that a lot of new cars suffer from not just EV's. I hate them with a passion.

          EV's are at a premium though, if there was price parity a lot more people would have them.

        • Naigrabzo on 24/11/2023 - 08:00

          Yep. I have someone I know who a Tesla who drives like they stole it. Most people I know with Tesla abuse it.

          All of them want to sell when warranty runs out and get another.

          You are right about them being too fast.

          Super fun to drive though. Highly recommended.

      If you believe silly things like peer reviewed scientific research, they are - at least with current scientific research (can of course change)

      I personally think you will find though, that the driving force behind EV adoption is unstable and high fuel prices, combined with EV's just drive so much better and the cost of ICE cars has risen, whilst the cost of EV's has been trending down. Why would I spend 65k on a Rav4 (which I'll need to wait 12+ months for, by which time it'll probably be 70k+) when I could spend an extra 5-10k or so and not need to ever go to a servo? Having owned both - I simply wouldn't lol

        I think it's ppl looking for a reason to endlessly justify their consumerism. There is almost no economic justification at an individual level to buy an EV now despite high fuel prices.

          This is especially true if your current car is still working. If your current car is end of life then equation is tricky especially if you care about environment.

      Nope, but driving experience is amazing. Torque is instant. Even on lower powered models the experience is amazing. Power on tap leaves ICE hot hatches in the dust

    • x d on 24/11/2023 - 02:17

      Agree. HEVs are far better long term (even though I am an EV owner)

    • keejoonc on 24/11/2023 - 15:30

      And because green credentials are what people always put at the top of their priorities when purchasing a car right?
      Gotta love anti-EV brigade always bringing up this point when buying an environmentally friendly cars was never ever what most people considered when choosing what car to buy. If that was the case, we wouldn't be seeing so many ICE Dodge Rams and Toyota Landcruisers on our roads.

  • ilikeit on 23/11/2023 - 23:12

    IMO, the IONIQ 6 just looks awkward, especially in base configuration. It already looks old.

  • vipero on 23/11/2023 - 23:13

    Discounting 10k… Imagine the margins.

    • xrailgun on 24/11/2023 - 01:30

      Could drop another 15-20k before it matches regular USA/SK MSRP. Maybe shipping to Australia costs 15k more than to USA, who knows.

      • Nom on 24/11/2023 - 11:14

        As with everything, US pricing doesn't include tax, AU pricing includes 10% GST - so the prices aren't as far apart.
