Price Breakdown

The Genesis GV80 Coupe starts from $137,500 before on-road costs, while the Porsche Macan opens at $129,800. That makes the Porsche Macan the more affordable entry point by $7,700.

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 $151,250 and $142,780 respectively.

The Porsche Macan qualifies for FBT exemption as an electric vehicle, which can dramatically reduce the effective cost for novated lease buyers. The Genesis GV80 Coupe, as a petrol model, does not qualify.

Drivetrain
