Hyundai Elexio Electric SUV Confirmed for Australia: A Game-Changer Coming to Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee
Exciting news for EV enthusiasts: Hyundai’s brand-new Elexio electric SUV is officially coming to Australia — and Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee is your local destination to learn more, stay updated, and test drive this upcoming game-changer when it arrives.
Positioned as a powerful rival to the Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7, the Hyundai Elexio is expected to join Hyundai’s growing electric vehicle (EV) lineup by mid-2026. For drivers in the Sutherland Shire, it means more choice, cutting-edge technology, and electric performance at competitive pricing.
What Is the Hyundai Elexio?
The Hyundai Elexio is a mid-size electric SUV developed by Beijing Hyundai, a joint venture between Hyundai and BAIC. Recently spotted testing on Australian roads, the Elexio had previously been downplayed by Hyundai Australia — but sources now confirm the SUV is locked in for local release.
Set to slot above the Hyundai Kona Electric and below the flagship IONIQ 9, the Elexio will likely appeal to drivers looking for an affordable, stylish EV without stepping into the six-figure price range.
With its name trademarked in Australia since August 2023 and confirmation of right-hand-drive versions underway, the Elexio is expected to become Hyundai’s seventh electric model in Australia, joining the likes of:
- Hyundai Kona Electric
- Hyundai Inster EV
- Hyundai IONIQ 5
- Hyundai IONIQ 6
- Hyundai IONIQ 9 (coming 2025)
- Hyundai IONIQ 6 N (coming 2026)
What We Know So Far: Performance, Range and Features
While official specs are still under wraps, the Hyundai Elexio is confirmed to be based on Hyundai’s E-GMP EV platform, shared with the IONIQ 5, 6, and 9. This platform is known for:
- Fast charging capabilities
- Long-range driving (up to a claimed 700km on China’s CLTC cycle)
- All-wheel drive options
- Spacious interior layouts
While the interior hasn’t been revealed yet, exterior styling hints at bold innovation — including a sleek silhouette and unique reverse D-pillar design. It’s clear Hyundai is positioning the Elexio to stand out among increasingly competitive mid-size EV SUVs.
Where Will It Sit in the Market?
Expect the Hyundai Elexio to take on the Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7, XPeng G6, and even Hyundai’s sibling brand with the Kia EV5.
Here’s how it stacks up:
| Model | Starting Price (est.) | Range (claimed) | Segment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyundai Elexio | ~$55,000 (est.) | Up to 700km CLTC | Mid-size SUV |
| Tesla Model Y | $58,900+ | Up to 533km WLTP | Mid-size SUV |
| BYD Sealion 7 | $54,990+ | Up to 570km WLTP | Mid-size SUV |
| Hyundai Kona Electric | $54,000+ | Up to 505km WLTP | Compact SUV |
| Hyundai IONIQ 5 | $69,800+ | Up to 507km WLTP | Mid-size SUV |
