The 2026 Hyundai i30 Sedan Active is a practical family sedan that suits Australian buyers wanting affordable everyday transport with a 474-litre boot and genuine five-star ANCAP safety credentials. Its standout strength is the combination of a frugal 2.0-litre petrol engine achieving 7L/100km consumption with a responsive 117kW and 191Nm torque delivery, keeping annual running costs around $2825. One consideration is the manual transmission-while it helps keep costs down, buyers should verify it suits their driving style, particularly in heavy urban traffic.
Configure the ActiveThe 2026 Hyundai i30 Sedan Elite is a practical front-wheel-drive family sedan powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine that suits buyers seeking affordable daily transport with genuine safety credentials-its 5-star ANCAP rating and 1200kg towing capacity make it a sensible choice for young families or commuters. Its standout strength is running cost efficiency, combining a 7L/100km fuel consumption figure with Hyundai's 5-year warranty and relatively modest annual servicing costs, making it genuinely affordable to own long-term. One consideration is the 117kW power output, which is modest by contemporary standards, so test-drive it if you frequently drive on motorways or need spirited acceleration.
Configure the EliteThe 2026 Hyundai i30 Sedan N Line is a sharp-looking compact sedan that appeals to buyers wanting sportier styling and responsive performance without stepping into genuine performance car territory. Its standout strength is the combination of a punchy 1.6-litre turbopetrol engine delivering 150kW and 265Nm through a slick DCT gearbox, paired with genuine everyday practicality-a 474-litre boot, 1200kg towing capacity, and a reasonable 6.8L/100km fuel economy. One thing to consider is that running costs of around $2762 annually, combined with the five-year warranty, mean you'll want to factor in maintenance beyond the initial purchase, particularly if you're doing significant kilometres.
Configure the N LineThe 2026 Hyundai i30 Sedan N DCT is a 5-seat sedan powered by a petrol engine making 206kW and 392Nm, driving the FWD and using 8.2L/100km on the combined cycle. It carries a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, backed by a 5-year/unlimited-km warranty. It offers 464 litres of boot space and is priced from $54,000.
Configure the N DCTThe 2026 Hyundai i30 Sedan N M/T is a 5-seat sedan powered by a petrol engine making 206kW and 392Nm, driving the FWD and using 8.2L/100km on the combined cycle. It carries a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, backed by a 5-year/unlimited-km warranty. It offers 464 litres of boot space and is priced from $52,000.

Hyundai Australia relaunches the Palisade Calligraphy Black Ink on the second-generation body from $92,400 before on-roads for the eight-seater, or $93,400 with the captain-chair seven-seat layout. About $2,572 above the standard Calligraphy Hybrid at $89,828 and $15,900 above the base Elite at $76,500. Same 2.5L turbo hybrid AWD as the rest of the range: 245kW/460Nm combined, six-speed automatic, claimed 6.8 L/100km. Black theme adds gloss black 21-inch alloys, blacked-out grille, badges, window surrounds, roof rails, mirror caps and lower bumpers, with two paint choices only, Abyss Black and Creamy White. Cabin sticks with dual 12.3-inch displays, 14-speaker sound, Nappa leather with metallic black trim, satellite navigation, power front seats and V2L. Palisade sales are up 38.1 per cent for the first half of 2026 and this Black Ink is the visual halo. ANCAP not yet rated on the second-generation car. LCT slug is around $3,470 on the eight-seat because the hybrid does not qualify as fuel-efficient. Cross-shop the Kluger Grande Hybrid ($85,135), Sorento GT-Line Hybrid ($74,540) and Mazda CX-80 GT before signing.

Genesis Australia locks in the GV60 Magma sticker. $130,000 before on-roads for a dual-motor AWD twin-under-the-skin of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Same 84kWh pack, same 448kW/700Nm normal or 478kW/790Nm Boost Mode outputs, same 3.4-second 0 to 100km/h, but wrapped in a Magma-only front bumper, forged 21-inch wheels on 275mm Pirelli P Zeros, a fixed rear wing, Magma Orange hero paint and Genesis' 27-inch curved display with a three-circle Magma driving mode. 800V charging peaks around 350kW, 10 to 80 per cent in about 18 minutes. WLTP range not yet finalised, ANCAP not yet rated. Matte paint is the only priced option at $4,000. Warranty is 5 years unlimited-km with 5 years or 75,000km of free scheduled servicing and 10 years of roadside. That is a $19,000 walk over the Ioniq 5 N for the same peak numbers and $26,100 over a Tesla Model Y Performance for a matching 3.4-second window. Orders open now.

Hyundai locks in MY26 Staria pricing with a first-ever hybrid across the passenger and Load van ranges. Staria Lounge Hybrid $73,740, Load Hybrid $53,490 and Load Premium Hybrid $61,240, all before on-roads. New 1.6L turbo-petrol hybrid pushes 180kW/366Nm combined through a six-speed auto to the front wheels, so the AWD lever stays on the retained 2.2L turbo-diesel. Passenger range simplified: Elite and Highlander shelved, Lounge takes over the top with seven Nappa captain-chair seats. Retained 3.5L V6 (200kW) still stands on the base Staria petrol. 2,500kg braked tow rating carries over. A 160kW Staria Load EV is due later in 2026 to chase the Kia PV5 Cargo and Ford E-Transit Custom. ANCAP rating is still 5-star for now with a retest under way as the current certificate nears expiry. Five year unlimited-km vehicle warranty, 8yr/160,000km hybrid battery warranty.
