2026 Hyundai Elexio price and specs: Aussie-tuned Chinese EV slots in under Ioniq 5

The Elexio offers a 546 km range, local suspension tuning, and advanced features to compete in Australia’s mid-size electric SUV market, priced at $59,990 drive-away.

  • Hyundai is introducing the China-built Elexio, a mid-size five-seat EV for Australia, launching later this year as a single-variant model.
  • After an Ioniq 5 reshuffle that raised its base price by $6400 to $76,200, Hyundai positioned the Elexio between the Kona Electric and the Ioniq 5 in the mid-size EV segment.
  • With 4K panoramic Connect‑C display, the Elexio includes V2L, charges 10–80% in 38 minutes on a 350kW DC charger, and uses a 400V E‑GMP platform.
  • Hyundai Australia engineered a bespoke suspension and steering tune in Sydney and offers the Elexio Elite at an introductory $59,990 drive-away with seven-year vehicle and eight-year/160,000 km battery warranties.
  • Entering a very competitive mid-size EV market, the Elexio could alter buyer decisions among rival models, but it has yet to be tested by ANCAP or Euro NCAP and lacks announced capped-price servicing.
