Hyundai Australia has announced a more affordable entry into the new Elexio electric SUV range, which will launch in the second quarter (April to June) of this year.
The 2026 Hyundai Elexio will sit below the Elexio Elite in the range now out, priced from $58,990 before on-road costs, or $3,000 less than the Premium introductory variant, which will rise to $61,990 plus on-road costs once the current D/A introductory offer of $59,990 ends on March 31, 2026.
Although unconfirmed at this point, local Hyundai executives have hinted that the new base Elexio will introduce its own drive-away offering, which could become an ongoing nationwide drive-away pricing.
