New Rides, New Deals - April 2026
April 2026
Here’s our monthly download of the latest BEVs and PHEVs to hit Aussie roads - plus price moves worth a squiz.
The big news this month is a nameplate every Aussie knows and loves: Mazda. After years of anticipation, the Mazda 6e has finally landed. For a brand that has been a staple in our driveways for decades, this isn't just another EV - it’s a statement. It brings that signature "Zoom-Zoom" handling and premium build quality into the electric era for under $55k, giving loyal fans a familiar, trusted bridge into the world of BEVs.
But the 6e isn't the only one making waves. At the other end of the scale, we are witnessing a budget hatchback battle. The GAC AION UT and the MG 4 Urban have launched at almost identical $30k price points. If you've been waiting for the "cheap city runabout" moment for EVs, this is officially it.
For those needing more space or a touch of luxury, Cadillac has arrived in force with the Optiq and the massive Vistiq to straddle the already-in-market Lyriq, while Skoda has similarly added to its stable with the sporty Enyaq RS. But the stable additions don’t stop there: the Porsche Cayenne Electric S has been added to slot between their recently launched Cayenne Electric & Cayenne Turbo Electric, and the Polestar 3 has been updated to boast faster DC charging alongside significant performance and range gains.
Scroll down for a quick snapshot of what's new - and what's changing.

Coming up in May?
With Mazda finally entering the ring and the Australian-EU Free Trade Agreement now in place, we’re keen to see if the European heavyweights accelerate their local trims to keep pace.
