Two electric SUVs go head to head. Which EV is the better buy for Australian drivers in 2026?
Specifications and pricing correct at time of publishing. Prices are RRP before on-road costs unless stated otherwise. Always confirm with the manufacturer or dealer before purchasing.
Price Breakdown
The Genesis GV60 starts from $110,700 before on-road costs, while the Cadillac Vistiq opens at $116,000. That makes the Genesis GV60 the more affordable entry point by $5,300.
Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $121,770 and $127,600 respectively.
