In fact, Australia is the only market to get the CX-60, CX-70, CX-90 and this CX-80, probably because they’re all so similar they can’t help but step on the other’s toes. But, I guess in keeping with Mazda’s move upmarket, they do throw a whole bunch of kit at each trim level. The safety kit across the board is pretty strong, too.

Finally – belatedly – we have one of Australia’s top five car brands delivering a budget small EV. Unsurprisingly it’s Hyundai, launching its Inster city crossover SUV into Aussie hands early in 2025 with a target price – Hyundai Australia says – around $40,000. It’s about bloody time.

LDV has announced the prices of its trio of new electric models – and they’re not cheap. . The battery pack underneath means there’s also no room for a spare tyre, with a repair kit in its place. LDV Australia defends the big price tag by pointing out the eT60 gets a large battery.

None of this quartet is cheap, but all are towards the value end of the EV market. It’s an unbranded system designed in-house by Tesla, but it’s a quality bit of audio kit. Its design takes cues from the 1975 Hyundai Pony (the brand didn’t even exist in Australia back then) and incorporates “parametric pixel” tail lights.

While it’s not cheap, the EV9 comes loaded with equipment and technology to help justify a circa-$100K starting price when it arrives in Australia in the fourth quarter of 2023. While the EV9 Air will be the entry-level model it will come with plenty of kit. However, that’s a combo it looks like Australia won’t initially get.

Kia Niro EV review: It was only in 2021 that Kia introduced the Niro nameplate to Australia. Australia received the Niro very late in its model cycle and it was never intended to be a stayer. While brief, the original Niro’s fleeting lifespan also helped Kia Australia better understand the EV market and what consumers want.

While Europe gets e-Power technology filtered across its model ranges, Nissan in Australia has opted to debut the tech on its two most expensive trim levels, the Ti and Ti-L. And that means it’s not cheap. What does the Nissan X-Trail e-Power cost? What do you get in the Nissan X-Trail e-Power?

So far Israel, Denmark, Australia , Hawaii and California’s Bay Area have plans to implement the Better Place model. So, the used batteries are almost arbitrarily cheap since an arbitrarily large fraction of their cost of production can be loaded on their use in transportation.

The familiarity of a Mazda – a brand long and successfully established in Australia – gives the MX-30 Electric a strong trump card here. Safety kit’s comprehensive, the material quality throughout is lovely (recycled plastic door trim excluded) and space for driver and front passenger is very good. Pretty generous.

Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not. Batteries are highly special toxic waste and cannot be dropped on the average dump site, so who is going to pay to get rid of this problem?
