Why Hyundai's Ioniq is now more expensive
By Stephen Ottley · 02 Jul 2021
Hyundai is preparing to introduce a new wave of Ioniq electric vehicles in the coming years, but first it’s making some changes to its original EV.The existing Ioniq range, which includes a hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and fully electric (EV) options, has been overhauled with the entry-level Elite model discontinued. That impacts both the hybrid and PHEV options, and with minor price increases across the range as well, it means the entry point to the Ioniq range is now $5700 higher.Previously the cheapest model was the Ioniq Elite Hybrid at $35,690 (plus on-road costs) and while it’s still available in overseas markets, Hyundai Australia has opted to drop it. That means the cheapest Ioniq is now the Premium Hybrid at $41,390 (plus on-road costs).That price increase also includes a $1000 price increase from July that impacts the entire Ioniq range. The rest of the range is now priced at $47,950 for the PHEV Premium, $49,970 for the Electric Elite and finishes with the Electric Premium for $54,010 (all prices exclude on-road costs).All specifications remain the same across the Ioniq range.That’s not the only change to Hyundai’s line-up for July either. At the same time the Ioniq has had a bump, pricing for the recently-introduced i30 Sedan have also increased. A consistent $400 jump across the entire line-up has come into effect from July, with the entry-level Active now starting at $25,190 (plus on-road costs).
