Hyundai Australia has applied a price increase to some of its most popular models, with more to come in the near future.

The brand has increased pricing for its i30 hatch and Sedan, as well as the Staria van and people mover, by hundreds of dollars, though no specifications or features have been changed for each model.

The changes, which took effect on April 1, mean the entry price for an i30 hatch is now $24,000 before on-road costs, up $280 over previous pricing. Pricing increases for the hatch line-up is uniform at $280 each variant, excluding the N variants, while the i30 Sedan is up by $310 for its range, now starting at $26,000.

The Staria, both in ‘Load’ van and people-mover versions, have had all prices hiked by $500, with the Load now from $46,240 and the people-mover now starting from $49,000.

In an unusual move, a spokesperson from Hyundai has also given CarsGuide a statement that the brand will increase pricing for two other models ahead of time, with the Hyundai Venue small SUV and the Tucson medium SUV to have prices increased from June 1.

Aside from the entry-grade Venue (which will be $100 more expensive), pricing for the SUVs will rise by $250.

The Venue will now start from $22,000, while the Tucson is up to $35,150 at entry-grade.

“Effective 1 April and 1 June 2023, HMCA regrettably will be applying a manufacturer's list price increase that impacts a range of Hyundai models,” a spokesperson told CarsGuide.

“This increase has been driven by exchange rate pressures and rising logistics costs.”

Pricing changes are listed below, including changes to come on June 1 as noted.

Racing video games, car-spotting on road trips, and helping wash the family VL Calais Turbo as a kid were all early indicators that an interest in cars would stay present in Chris’ life, but loading up his 1990 VW Golf GTI Mk2 and moving from hometown Brisbane to work in automotive publishing in Melbourne ensured cars would be a constant. With a few years as MOTOR Magazine’s first digital journalist under his belt, followed by a stint as a staff journalist for Wheels Magazine, Chris’ career already speaks to a passion for anything with four wheels, especially the 1989 Mazda MX-5 he currently owns. From spending entire weeks dissecting the dynamic abilities of sports cars to weighing up the practical options for car buyers from all walks of life, Chris’ love for writing and talking about cars means if you’ve got a motoring question, he can give you an answer.
