Hyundai Motor Company Australia has delivered more than 1,500 electric vehicles in the first four months of 2026 as demand for EVs continues to accelerate across the Hyundai and Genesis line-ups.
The strongest performers have been the new INSTER compact EV, KONA Electric and recently launched ELEXIO SUV, with Hyundai confirming that customer orders are still running ahead of available supply.
Hyundai delivered a total of 1,533 EVs between January and April, including 478 deliveries in April following a record 619 EV deliveries in March.
The KONA Electric remains Hyundai’s highest-volume EV so far in 2026 with 502 deliveries, followed closely by the new ELEXIO with 446 units and the INSTER with 310 deliveries.
IONIQ 5 deliveries reached 180 units during the first four months of the year, while Hyundai also delivered seven IONIQ 5 N performance models and 17 IONIQ 6 sedans.
The broader Hyundai Motor Group EV portfolio also included Genesis EV deliveries, with the GV60, Electrified GV70 and Electrified G80 contributing additional volume.
Hyundai Motor Company Australia Director of Sales, David Rodda, said demand remains extremely strong despite supply constraints easing slightly.
“Our orders continue to outpace our current supply,” Rodda said.
“There has been a slight softening in enquiry from the peak we saw a couple of weeks ago, but we have also seen more customers ready to buy now rather than just shopping.”
Hyundai recently announced major increases in EV supply for the second quarter of 2026, including a 315% increase in KONA Electric allocation and a 204% increase for INSTER.
The additional supply is expected to help dealers convert strong enquiry levels into deliveries over coming months.
“With more supply coming we anticipate our dealers will be able to field customer enquiry with more confidence, and we will also see an increase in deliveries with the arrival of the forward orders we have already sold,” Rodda said.
The results reflect a significant shift in Hyundai’s sales mix during 2026 as Australian buyers increasingly move towards electrified vehicles.
Hyundai previously confirmed EVs now account for around 20% of its sales volume, up from less than 3% previously, while hybrid orders also continue to grow strongly.
The company believes its broad EV line-up, improving supply position and established dealer network are helping build buyer confidence as more Australians transition to electric vehicles.
