Hyundai MY23 IONIQ 6 TECHNIQ AWD EV ~$79,000 Driveaway (Save $10,500), EPIQ ~$90,000 Driveaway (Save $5,288) @ Hyundai Australia

1550

If you want to jump on the EV (band)wagon and are considering additional offerings that aren't Made in China, here's one from South Korea:

Hyundai are having a Black Friday Event for the mid and top spec MY23 IONIQ 6. Basically you can get a decent upgrade to the mid-spec AWD from the base model RWD. And mid-spec gets upgrade to top spec (with digital side mirrors!)

Driveaway prices seem to vary from state to state so I've approximated, but here's their overview:

Enjoy a FREE upgrade from the DYNAMIQ to a TECHNIQ variant, valued up to $10,500#. Or upgrade from the TECHNIQ variant to an EPIQ valued up to $5,288#. Offer from November 24-27. MY23 vehicles only. T&Cs apply.

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2023

    • Toyota did this with Prius. It produced enough to run the fans for AC (just fans, not the whole AC).

    • Not really practical unless the car is ultra light or has high capacity panels. Realistically they will only do like 1 to 2 kms per hour

    • The amount of energy falling on the roof of a car is just not big enough enough to run aircon, nonwithstanding charging the car.

      Its been tried but it was dropped for good reasons.

    • Toyota had this with their BZ4X LIMITED EDITION. I haven't heard of it since their ev started to have a slight problem. Wheels literally falling off!!!

  • "Friday is just the beginning."

    They aren't lying, black friday might be an excuse but BYD are pretty much forcing all the other EVs to adjust their pricing down.

  • +1

    Why so much ripoff? After 8 to 10 years, one has to spend $15k to replace battery. How is it cheaper compared to the petrol car! Just a marketing gimmick.

    • +1

      And where does that info come from? Other than Nissan Leafs battery degradation just doesn't happen to an extent that makes replacements necessary any sooner than an ICE would need a new engine and transmission at a similar price tag. And by that time EV drivers are tens of thousands of dollars ahead on total cost of ownership.

    • +2

      these battery myths, if you've saved $3000 - $5000 a year in fuel over the journey compare the pear!

      • And maintenance savings are substantial.

    • +2

      And after 8 to 10 years youve spent thousands more in maintenance on your ICE let alone petrol costs…

      Batteries are lasting 250,000-300,000ks which would cover 90% of all car lifespans

      Gotta pove the ev haters

    • +2

      A. Simply not true
      B. ICE cars require a minimum of $10,000 in maintenance over 10 years

    • My understanding is that after 8yrs the battery is warranted to 90% of its original capacity. It's not dead.

    • +1

      The maintenance is the same for both especially at 15 years. Possibly at 10 years. Evs probably cheaper before that as long as it ok to live with about 15% range loss.

      Ice needs all the usual service. Probably won't have major mechanicalmeltdown as long as you don't buy Ladda.

      EVs need double the amount of expensive tyres and potential expensive battery replacement… Most likely screen would break at 7 years making ev unusable ie critical failure.

      Both needs coolant etc.

      • Ice needs all the usual service. Probably won't have major mechanical meltdown as long as you don't buy Ladda.

        I don't care either way about cars. But after 10 years in an ICE car that does decent range you are going to start having expensive problems

  • Good discount but I'd be seething if I was a current owner..

    • +3

      Imagine owning the Mini EV then having them drop the price 20k lol

      • +1

        My friend lost 20k overnight
        Not that he should've bought it, terrible range and expensive to boot

        • Terrible range ? How much range do you think the electric Mini should have ?

          It's way more than enough to drive across an Australian city and back, every single day - even if you have a bonkers long commute, then the range is absolutely fine.

          • @Nom: 250km range from new is pretty much the worst in the industry. At least 400km range would be required factoring in degradation.

            Literally paying solely for a badge

            • @Drakesy:

              Literally paying solely for a badge

              This is how the entire car industry operates 😁

              250km range from new is pretty much the worst in the industry. At least 400km range would be required factoring in degradation.

              I'm a city dweller, and the number of times I need to drive 400Km in a single day, or even 250Km for that matter, is almost zero. I could quite easily meet my daily use with 250Km range and charge over night - if I'm leaving the city, then I only need to be able to drive to the airport.

              I just don't think that range is an issue at all for the average city user - but obviously this relies on the fact that you'll be able to charge at home every night. If you need the range to get you around for a week between commercial chargers then it's a different story !

    • +1

      Yeah, that's me, took delivery of the Dynamiq on Tuesday. FML

        I am a Techniq owner from the first batch. Not seething. Had lots of enjoyment with it this year.

  • +4

    Car dealers going to start crying poor.
    Dont mind the past 3 years where they raped and pillaged.

    • Dealers are scum though. You would become scum also if you were in that situation.

  • This is just not a popular model… Why do they even produce it… Just switch production to their other models which just look like better cars

  • +3

    I'm sorry, but who is buying these? My household is on DINK, each high-earning professional, and would never dream of such ridiculous figures on a NEW car of all things. You can get a 'used' Volvo / Merc / Beemer / Lexus (under 30,000km) for much less and often in their performance lines with top of the range trim (as packages never really add used market value).

    I understand that the EV market is the likely future, and that fuel prices are steadily increasing, but surely that's not justification for spending 90k on a fkn Hyundai? And yes, as a vehicle enthusiast, I get the tech sell, but the cost of all that (even when considering dev engi + test) is not a real contributor as it's all cyclically stolen from each competitor (and largely useless if you know how to drive).

    Edit: you'd be able to comfortably source a luxury performance vehicle from 2012-2020 for ~50-80k, with infinitely better upholstery and attention to detail / aesthetic appeal. You would not be spending more than 2k (generous) p.a. on service for a performance line. At such kms no major faults are any more likely to occur on a correctly researched and selected vehicle. I'm baffled if this market segment is purely for non-car-comprehenders and is some kind of scam, or if the propo machine is working overtime to force the EV transition at cost to consumer. The benefits of EVs are undeniable, but at this price point that seems comical. These should be half the price and have the potential for double the allowable torque and bhp - these are arbitrary limits for power management. There is so much I can't grapple with- who is the target group?

    • These are new cars, not used, and the battery can be quite expensive.
      If you haven't seen one of these in person, they are well-built and quite luxurious.
      What you know about Hyundai and Kia build quality is probably outdated.

      What are the prices of new comparable luxury ICE cars? and maintenance costs?

      • +1

        No, I entirely agree they're much nicer and well-built when compared to historic vehicles from the same houses. I recently demoed an Ioniq 5, Kona N, i30 N, Kia Stinger GT, and a few others; they were incredible to drive. But again, imo, they are entirely comparable to the build quality of leading luxury vehicles from 2014/15 onwards. I don't understand spending more for 'new' that is less, or at best, equivalent.

        New ICE cars from luxury segments aren't a fair comp. - they cost more because they're arguably leagues ahead in material quality, driving experience, and build. But even then, you can get a base model 2023 3 series / C class for 80k, trim it for 90k. A 2021 CLA45 with 30,000k will be less than 75k. I get if you only buy new (adding to the issue but my rents were like that), but even then there are better choices. That is, unless tech is your sole factor, on which point these seem identical - as they should be where software integrated dev is incredibly cheap per point of consumer / sales 'wow' factor.

    • +1

      I grew sick of ownership costs of German luxury vehicles. $2k+ servicing costs on a several year old car makes no sense. We had DPF and AdBlue pump issues after 4yrs and no warranty thanks to the old 3yr German standard warranty period. We also had the whole transmission replaced under warranty with a 3yr old car. And we do less than 10k per year and probably less than 2k during COVID. Hoping EVs and Korean cars are cheaper. Plus kudos to Hyundai for not stopping innovating. Who would have thought the company behind the shit box Excel would be one of the leaders in EVs?

      • I get it - put over 150,000km on my german in just under 4 years. Now nearing 250,000km and needing more work than worth doing, but until that point was lucky it didn't miss a beat.

        I think it's v true Euros are a risky buy new - you usually need a few years to see what's worth buying + a facelift to fix and adopt consumer feedback. I look forward to one day owning a family EV, just for the sake of the insane torque per $.

        Hyundai have undeniably captured the detail in the Ioniq 5 - it's a sexy car and how EVs should look. Shame euros have shat the bed with a lot of their EV design - have you seen the EQA/S? Looks like a kid hopped into blender and was making a mouse before deciding it'd be cool if that mouse was also a car… surely the appeal of electrics is untapped power making aeros easier, meaning classic styles can return. I'll be buying the first Jaguar E Type EV if they ever decide to do that. Classic EVs will be the tits.

    • +1

      Yep
      Car makers have lost touch of reality.
      Lots of greed related profiteering going on

  • +4

    We took delivery of the Dynamiq on Tuesday and missed the deal 😭. But Hyundai are looking into some form of compensation which is at least a token gesture.

    The design is polarising and I preferred the 5 over the 6 initially. But it grows on you and I love the 6 now. Stunning in person.

    Just buy a 10 year old Camry and invest the rest in crypto

    Re broader EV discussion.

    Ive had a Model S 85 and now a Model 3 LR. I charge from solar during the day most of the time. Or if I cant then it is the 5 or 6 kwh i use daily charged at off peak. For Ozbargainers interested in saving money that saving 70-80 dollars per week in petrol is the start. Model S had a drive unit replaced under warranty, battery very strong after 8.5 years, still had a 340km range.

    With regards to aesthetics, i cant stand needless affectations (like the Audi indicators! Terrible), so i like the minimalism. Im a car guy and the Model 3 is fun to drive etc. For those old enough to have had exposure to japanese imports it is like a Silvia (m3) compared to a Skyline (ms). Torque is fun. Ive had highpowered v8s too and M3 is more fun.

    Musk needs to get out of his echo chamber. That is the only real negative atm.

    • Musk needs to get out of his echo chamber.

      You probably need to think about what words mean before you use them.

      An 'echo chamber' is one where you only hear your own ideas thrown back at you. This is achieved when you suppress speech and censor content you don't like (like what happens on the Left with cancel culture).
      Musk is a champion of free speech for this very reason, it is the only way you crack open the echo chamber. By allowing everyone a voice, even those you disagree with, is the only way to be exposed to new ideas. Part of that means you will hear things you don't like or agree with, and you'll need to thicken your skin a little, but this is the exact opposite of an echo chamber.

      So say what you like (hooray for free speech), but if you recognise the detriment of echo chambers then you must support free speech, and if you support free speech then Elon Musk is currently one of the most powerful advocates for it.

      • Hi, I have a bridge to sell you. Very real and very nice. Please contact me for further information.

      • A forum of cookers and bots does not equal free speech.

        I have no preference either way with Elon. But like most powerful people, he isn't out there looking for "free speech" that is against his ideas. He simply wouldn't read it.

        • A forum of cookers and bots does not equal free speech.

          Every I disagree with is Hitler…

          But like most powerful people, he isn't out there looking for "free speech" that is against his ideas.

          No-one said he's 'looking' for it, he is merely providing a platform for others to exercise theirs, and this simple act seems to trigger many people…

          He simply wouldn't read it.

          Read what? Are you cooking?

    • How much is model S now and how does it compare with this Hyundai?

  • +5

    We can thank Byd in large part for this. Their cars are readily available on short wait times and priced aggressively (relatively). If you need a decent battery, build quality and specs any Byd is still a cheaper better price. This discounts any brand snobbery but I think Tesla/Polestar/Hyundai are quickly realising at least here in Australia loyalty may not be as strong as they hoped (oh yeah and 100 cash rate hikes is eating our money).

  • +2

    80k for ev lol people just love debt.! No brainer

    • U do know not everyone goes into debt some people do have cash in the bank.

    • Obviously YOU can't afford a 80k car without getting into debt but for a lot of people, they can easily afford it.

  • Your can get a ford mach-e in Australia too for 85k base model. Anything above tesla and BYD pricing is pretty much a rip off for similar speced cars. Hyundai is no exception, they see fewer evs than any other car manufacturer.

  • +3

    If I was in a market for an EV, this wouldn't be my price unless I wanted an overpriced, strange looking (or unique take your pick) EV.

    The BYD Seal looks like the better choice imo (if you don't want a Tesla).

    That said, they've really priced it way way more than the equivalent Model 3, so it was never meant to sell in volumes here and it's purely for as much profit as possible. In other markets it's in the same price bracket as they need to compete on volume. They don't give a rat's a$$ about us Aussies.

  • where is the black friday sale? this should be 50% off

  • +5

    I have Ioniq 6 Techic and I specifically compared this car with every other EV on the market:
    1. Interior quality - almost on par with my Lexus RC350, soft to touch and high quality. Leather is more rough but acceptable. Amazing noise isulation similar to Lexus and even better software, I use AppleCar.
    2. Exterior - crazy beautiful car in my opinion, it looks as futuristic cars from my childhood. Extreme quality of the paint - automated gates hit my car and haven't left even a scratch.

    Tesla is not even nearby - 1000 miles away. I canceled my Tesla request immediately after test drive.

    • +1

      Agree. I’ve seen one getting around and the quality and finish is in a different league to Telsa, way nicer car than Tesla.

    • +3

      Tesla dropped off our list when I realised it didn't have a dedicated instrument cluster. Minimalistic madness

    • +1

      hows those logbook 200 to 500 dollar or more services going? from Hyundai "fixed" price servicing. even though its an ev. I am surprised an ev from hyundai needs so much servicing, for something that is considered well built? Also the interior doesn't make the car quality, its the parts that make it a car like the drive train, and battery are more important. I test drove so many of these Ioniq 5s and also the ioniq 6 and when the salesmen sat there and told me alot of BS about the car, and the fact I drove many teslas over the years, byd's and even those terrible renault evs. I came to realise why the ioniq isn't a popular choice for ev owners.

      • One per 2 years service which you can easily skip. I would just ignore because no actual work will be done on the car. But I completely agree about Hyundai salesman - they complete garbage. I've done all research myself about the car - parts quality is outstanding and after almost 1 year I don't have any single issue or rattle in the car, similar to my Lexus.

        • Skipping it would jeopardise the warranty. Terrible idea.

  • +1

    Looks good in the metal but expensive.

    Would prefer i30N fastback with the 6 speed + change.

  • Much nicer alternative to Tesla products. Looks way better too. Good deal. Tesla can’t compete against these new Hyundai EVs.

    • In what aspects is this better than Model S? Do you know the details?

      • Tesla S is such an old car now. You can’t even buy them new in Australia anymore.

  • +2

    AU falcon ELECTRIFIED!!! Noice.

    • The roach is back, unkillable

  • +2

    I agree with seemingly the few, in the metal this thing looks pretty cool. The back is overdone a little but I can appreciate it being an example of function over form because aero matters with an EV

  • I saw one on the streets the other day and I’m in two minds about how it looks – looks of course being a very subjective matter.

    I was confused at first because it looked like a classic Porsche from behind but it had modern LEDs running through it. Then when I got closer, I thought the lines and curves kinda felt messy and disproportionate because I was picturing a Porsche in my mind.

    Then when I found out it was ioniq 6 – I immediately thought is this a model that had a limited release prior to the the ioniq 5 because it doesn’t look as polished.

  • wow who can afford these prices, the cost of base model Tesla 3 RWD just looking better each time

    • true.. tbh this looks very ugly. Tesla model 3 looks way better

  • I own an Ioniq 6 Epiq. Love it. While they are a bit exxy compared to the Tesla M3, I like the drive a bit better, and they have a instrument cluster display!

    • +2

      Please don't call the Tesla Model 3 a Tesla M3. It does such a disservice to the BMW M3 name and heritage.

  • This car is hideous, why would anyone buy it?

  • The HUGE amount of money that can be saved avoiding expensive evs? Ice ice baby!
