New EVs Coming to Australia in 2026 and Beyond
The Australian EV market is changing fast. New models are arriving regularly from both established and newer manufacturers, and the range of choices available to buyers is broader than it has ever been.
Here is a look at what is coming.
Confirmed or widely flagged arrivals (timing and pricing change—confirm with dealers):
SUVs / crossovers: Zeekr 7X, Kia EV9 GT, Volvo EX60—check range, pricing, and ADAS specs for the exact variant.
Test drove something in this price bracket? Mention the model and we will tailor the conversation.
Different lenders have different appetites for brands and ages — brokers shortcut the guesswork.
Sedans / hatches: Kia EV4, Mazda 6e—compare battery size, charging speed, and warranty.
Utes: Toyota HiLux BEV from $74,990+ (launch timing around Q2 2026—confirm), MG U9 EV and Isuzu D-Max EV (timing TBC).
Vans: Kia PV5 (often quoted around $56k + ORC for cargo variants—confirm drive-away).
Luxury / performance: Polestar 5, Denza Z9GT—expect flagship pricing and long-range packs; verify local specification.
Buying your first EV can feel like a lot of new numbers. You do not have to work it out alone.

What This Means For Pricing
More competition generally means better pricing for buyers. As manufacturers fight for market share, we are seeing more aggressive pricing, better standard features, and more competitive finance offers from dealers.
If you are waiting for a specific model to arrive, keep in mind that launch pricing can change after the initial release. Sometimes launch specials offer the best value. Other times, waiting for the first price adjustment yields a better deal.
Should You Wait For A New Model Or Buy Now?
This depends on how urgently you need a vehicle and what is currently available.
If there is a model arriving in the next few months that perfectly suits your needs, it might be worth waiting. But if something available right now ticks your boxes, waiting for the sake of waiting means you miss out on months of running cost savings and any time-limited incentives.

What About Used Evs?
As new models arrive, used EVs from the previous generation become more available and more affordable. If the latest and greatest is not a priority, the used market can offer excellent value. See our guide on how to finance a used electric vehicle.

Getting Finance Ready
If you know you want to buy an EV in the coming months, there is no harm in starting the finance conversation now. Getting pre-approved means you know your budget and can move quickly when the right vehicle becomes available.
A broker can give you an indication of what you could borrow and what your repayments would look like, even before you have settled on a specific vehicle. For an overview of how the process works, see our guide on how EV finance works.
