Hyundai Australia has confirmed the i30 Sedan Hybrid will arrive in Australia by early 2024, but not much else.
Exact pricing and specifications won’t be locked in and announced until closer to the on-sale date, but we can speculate based on what we know of the US-spec Elantra Hybrid we drove and the South Korean-built examples we currently get in Australia.
In the US Hyundai offers the Hybrid in two grades - Blue and Limited - but based on what we’ve seen with other hybrids in Hyundai Australia’s range, expect a three-tier line-up with a Active (or just i30 Sedan Hybrid), Elite and Premium options.
In terms of pricing, Hyundai is charging a $4000 premium for the Kona hybrids so it’s reasonable to expect something similar for the i30 Sedan. That would mean the entry-level starting at around $30,000 the Elite from $36,000 and the Premium in the low-$40K range.
If accurate, that would be competitive against the Corolla Sedan Hybrid range which spans $31,680 to $39,620.
