The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.5 Petrol FWD is a practical seven-seat SUV suited to families seeking affordable space and solid safety credentials, backed by a five-star ANCAP rating and five-year warranty. Its standout strength is the combination of reasonable fuel consumption at 6.8L/100km and modest running costs around $1515 annually, making it genuinely economical for its class. One thing to consider is the modest 141kW output from the 2.5-litre engine, which is adequate rather than spirited, so test drive it to ensure the performance matches your expectations for highway and everyday driving.

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid FWD is a seven-seat mid-size SUV that suits families wanting practical space with fuel efficiency, pairing a 1.6-litre petrol engine with hybrid technology to deliver 6.8L/100km consumption and 172kW of power. Its standout strength is the combination of genuine hybrid economy-saving roughly $1515 annually in running costs-with respectable 2000kg towing capacity and a spacious 625-litre boot, all backed by a 5-star ANCAP safety rating and five-year warranty. One consideration: at 2015kg and front-wheel-drive only, it won't match the terrain capability of traditional petrol SUVs, though it's well-suited to urban and suburban driving where the hybrid system truly shines.

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid AWD is a seven-seat family SUV that suits buyers wanting fuel efficiency without compromising practicality, delivering a claimed 6.8L/100km consumption and 2000kg towing capacity. Its standout strength is the hybrid powertrain's combination of 172kW and 367Nm torque paired with all-wheel drive, offering responsive performance while keeping annual running costs around $1515. One thing to consider is the 625-litre boot space, which is modest for a three-row SUV when all seats are deployed, so check it suits your cargo needs before buying.

2026 Hyundai Staria Hybrid Priced for Australia: Lounge People Mover $73,740, Load Van From $53,490

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.

Honda Civic Type R Orders Reopen: 98 Cars for Australia at $85,000 Driveaway, Carbon Wing Left Off

Honda Australia reopens Civic Type R order books today at midday with just 98 cars for the entire country at $85,000 driveaway, the same figure as the February batch but without the carbon-fibre rear wing that ran as a $5,300 option and then a standard fitment on earlier allocations. A $5,000 refundable deposit locks a build slot, first customer deliveries in December 2026. Mechanicals unchanged: 235kW/420Nm 2.0L VTEC turbo, six-speed manual with rev-matching, helical LSD, front-wheel drive. Honda has been running roughly 80 Type R deliveries a month and the August 2025 batch cleared inside an hour, so 98 cars is a rounding error against national demand. Cross-shop against the Toyota GR Yaris GTS Aero at ~$72k driveaway, Hyundai i30 N Premium at ~$58k, VW Golf R at ~$77k and Subaru WRX tS at ~$63k. ANCAP not yet rated on the FL5 body.
