2021 Hyundai Ioniq price and features: Price jump for Toyota Prius, Tesla Model 3 alternative

The Hyundai Ioniq range has been shuffled.

Hyundai is preparing to introduce a new wave of Ioniq electric vehicles in the coming years, but first it’s making some changes to its original EV.

The existing Ioniq range, which includes a hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and fully electric (EV) options, has been overhauled with the entry-level Elite model discontinued. That impacts both the hybrid and PHEV options, and with minor price increases across the range as well, it means the entry point to the Ioniq range is now $5700 higher.

Previously the cheapest model was the Ioniq Elite Hybrid at $35,690 (plus on-road costs) and while it’s still available in overseas markets, Hyundai Australia has opted to drop it. That means the cheapest Ioniq is now the Premium Hybrid at $41,390 (plus on-road costs).

That price increase also includes a $1000 price increase from July that impacts the entire Ioniq range. The rest of the range is now priced at $47,950 for the PHEV Premium, $49,970 for the Electric Elite and finishes with the Electric Premium for $54,010 (all prices exclude on-road costs).

All specifications remain the same across the Ioniq range.

That’s not the only change to Hyundai’s line-up for July either. At the same time the Ioniq has had a bump, pricing for the recently-introduced i30 Sedan have also increased. A consistent $400 jump across the entire line-up has come into effect from July, with the entry-level Active now starting at $25,190 (plus on-road costs).

Steve has been obsessed with all things automotive for as long as he can remember. Literally, his earliest memory is of a car. Having amassed an enviable Hot Wheels and Matchbox collection as a kid he moved into the world of real cars with an Alfa Romeo Alfasud. Despite that questionable history he carved a successful career for himself, firstly covering motorsport for Auto Action magazine before eventually moving into the automotive publishing world with CarsGuide in 2008. Since then he's worked for every major outlet, having work published in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Drive.com.au, Street Machine, V8X and F1 Racing. These days he still loves cars as much as he did as a kid and has an Alfa Romeo Alfasud in the garage (but not the same one as before... that's a long story).
