Hyundai Australia to increase prices by up to $2000

Hyundai will soon lift prices across all N Line and N models – alongside the Venue and Santa Fe. The i20 N will rise by $2000, and is no longer available to order.

Hyundai Australia will increase prices across a number of models from August 1, with the company’s range of N performance cars the hardest hit.

In effect from next month, prices across 42 per cent of Hyundai’s local range will rise due to various factors related to rising material costs and inflationary pressures, with no associated increase in standard equipment.

The city-sized i20 N hot hatch will receive the largest increase, at $2000, with orders now closed for the model, after wait times stretched between 12 and 24 months, and over 1600 customers placed their name down since September.

Meanwhile, the i30 N hatch, i30 Sedan N and Kona N will all increase by $1200 – while a $500 price rise will be applied to the i30 N Line hatch and sedan, Sonata N Line, Venue, Tucson N Line, Kona N Line, and Santa Fe ranges.

“[Hyundai Motor Company Australia, or HMCA] has been experiencing an unprecedented rise in raw material costs globally, combined with significant inflationary pressure across the total supply chain, which we can no longer absorb in full,” the company said in a statement.

“N and N Line variants across our range have been impacted by increasing cost of supply, the specialised nature of this product, and exchange rate pressures within the global market. Our European sourced models have been impacted further by instability within the region.”

Speaking further on the higher price rises for N models, Hyundai said: “In this case, price rises were inevitable and a factor of unprecedented economic conditions, especially increased costs across the supply chain.”

“It’s highly unfortunate and certainly not something we had planned, but we are doing our very best to shore up supply and keep disruption and disappointment to a minimum.”

Hyundai Australia says i20 N order books have closed to “avoid customer disappointment”, and assures keen buyers that “as soon as our production allocation catches up with the order bank, HMCA will start taking orders once again.”

As reported by Drive, wait times for the European-built i30 N hatch are up 12 months, while Hyundai now says i20 N wait times were between 12 and 24 months.

“Kona N current production availability presents an alternative for customers who are waiting for an i30 N hatch,” Hyundai Australia says.
