2026 Hyundai Elexio: New base model priced for Australia

The entry-level 2026 Elexio SUV starts at $58,990, offering a 562km WLTP range and competing with low-cost Chinese EVs in the Australian market.

  • During Q2, Hyundai Australia will introduce a $58,990 base 2026 Hyundai Elexio below the Elexio Elite, with a drive-away offer expected.
  • Using its Beijing factory, Hyundai has deployed a ride-and-handling tuning program to tune the car for Australian roads, Hyundai's most advanced factory said.
  • Powered by a 160kW front‑mounted electric motor and 88.1kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, the base Elexio claims a WLTP driving range of 562km and features a 27‑inch Connect‑C Infotainment System plus 506 litres of boot space expanding to 1540 litres.
  • With the launch pricing window closing on March 31, 2026, the Elexio Elite lists at $61,990 but is being offered at $59,990 drive‑away until then, and the entry-level Elexio could compete with the BYD Sealion 7 .
  • Hyundai executives signalled the base Elexio drive‑away offer could launch soon with a sharp nationwide package to better combat cut‑price Chinese electric vehicles.
