New Rides, New Deals - May 2026
May 2026
At zuup, we’re all about the everyday and the outrageous..
So when Subaru - a brand built on AWD all-terrain and getting off the beaten track - drops an all-electric SUV designed for exactly that, we say hell yeah!
Meet the Subaru Trailseeker AWD - an all-electric SUV that takes Subaru’s AWD heritage and applies it to EV driving, with the space, capability and flexibility you’d expect from a proper all-terrain SUV.
It’s not the only big move this month.
Mazda is keeping momentum after the 6e, with the new CX-6E entering the mid-size SUV fight under $58k, while GWM’s Ora 5 lands at $33,990 - bringing a proper entry point into EV ownership.
It’s also a big month for plug-in hybrids.
The BYD Seal 6 is arriving with serious range, including a wagon bodystyle - while Audi’s Q5 e-Hybrid continues to blur the line between petrol and electric. And if you’ve been eyeing a ute, Ford’s finally woken up to reality - cutting up to $19,448 off the Ranger PHEV range.
Scroll down for a quick snapshot of what’s new - and what's changing.
