2027 Kia EV3 GT-Line AWD Priced for Australia: Dual-Motor Flagship Lands at $66,490, 559km WLTP and 6.6-Second 0-100
Kia Australia locks in a new AWD flagship on the EV3 small electric SUV. GT-Line AWD Long Range $66,490 before on-roads, $2,540 above the FWD GT-Line. Second motor at the rear pushes combined system output to 195kW/385Nm and cuts the 0 to 100km/h claim from 7.9 to 6.6 seconds. Same 81.4kWh Long Range battery as the rest of the line, WLTP range 559km, only 4km behind the FWD car. Upsized front and rear brakes plus a bespoke local suspension and steering tune sit on top of the standard Australian ride and handling program. Standard kit unchanged from the FWD GT-Line: 19-inch alloys, sunroof, synthetic leather trim, 10-way power driver's seat with memory, heated and ventilated front seats, heated wheel, dual-zone climate, dual 12.3-inch displays plus a 5-inch climate strip, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Harman Kardon audio and satellite navigation. 5-star ANCAP under the 2023 to 2025 protocol carries across from the FWD variants. Sits inside the fuel-efficient LCT threshold so the FBT novated-lease exemption still applies. 7-year unlimited-km vehicle warranty and 7-year/150,000km battery cover. First customer deliveries and dealer arrivals from September 2026.
2026 XPeng G6 Final Pricing: Four Variants From $51,800, $3,000 Cheaper Than The Outgoing Car
XPeng ANZ opens the updated G6 order book on the factory-direct switchover. Standard Range $51,800, Long Range $56,800, AWD Performance $63,800 and AWD Performance Black Edition $66,800, all before on-road costs. That is a $3,000 cut across the equivalent outgoing variants at the same moment XPeng adds 800V silicon carbide architecture, 5C ultra-fast charging with a 451kW DC peak, LFP chemistry and a longer factory-backed warranty. WLTP range up to 525km on the Long Range, 480km on the Standard Range and 510km on both AWD variants. Peak DC is quoted at 451kW for a 10 to 80 per cent stop in about 12 minutes, adding up to 427km of range in a 15-minute pause. AWD Performance runs a 358kW/660Nm dual-motor stack for a claimed 4.13-second 0 to 100km/h, and the Black Edition adds gloss black paint, black-finish 20-inch alloys, smoked-black badging and black brake calipers over the standard Performance. Cabin standard kit spans a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, 10.25-inch driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual wireless phone chargers, 18-speaker XOPERA audio, Nappa leather, heated ventilated and massaging front seats, and a Nvidia Orin-X XPILOT stack. Warranty steps up to 7-year unlimited-km for private buyers on cars sold from 1 June 2026, with 8-year 160,000km battery cover. Orders open now, deliveries during July 2026. ANCAP rating is a carry-over 5-star from the pre-update Euro NCAP score, no re-test announced yet.
2027 Volvo EX90 Single Motor Priced for Australia: $106,990 Base Grade Ducks Under the Incoming EV Luxury Car Tax Threshold
Volvo adds a rear-drive entry to its seven-seat electric flagship. The EX90 Plus Single Motor is $106,990 before on-roads, $18,000 cheaper than the Plus Twin Motor ($124,990) and $28,000 under the Ultra Twin Motor Performance ($134,990). It deletes the front motor for a single 245kW/480Nm rear unit (rear-wheel drive), swaps the 106kWh battery for a smaller 92kWh pack, and drops WLTP range to 479km (from 521km), 0-100km/h to 6.8s (from 5.5s) and braked towing to 1500kg (from 2200kg), though the smaller battery DC charges 10-80% two minutes quicker at 22 minutes. Equipment mirrors the Plus Twin Motor (14.5-inch touchscreen, four-zone climate, heated front seats, 20-inch wheels, 14-speaker audio). The $106,990 price slots under the new $120,000 electric-car Luxury Car Tax threshold due from 1 July 2027 (up from $91,661), making it LCT-free from then while the twin-motors stay taxed. MY27 also deletes the EX90's roof LiDAR. On sale now, Australian deliveries September-October 2026.
