Featured DriveTribe: Nissan LEAF vs. Hyundai Ioniq (Australia)

Tideland Prius · Aug 15, 2020

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d know that the world has gone EV-mad with a broad variety of electric cars now on sale that includes everything from family hatchbacks to hypercars with Top Trumps-winning spec sheets. At this point, there’s very nearly as broad a variety in the EV market as there is in the market for conventional combustion-engined cars.

But while EVs were seen as being something out of reach for the ordinary person, and not practical enough, either, due to the limited range from their old-tech batteries, the pair you see here – the Hyundai Ioniq Electric and Nissan Leaf, the two most affordable EVs on sale in Australia right now – are proof that the average Joe or Jane can now actually consider making the switch from petrol pump to wall plug.

The Ioniq – which also comes in conventional and plug-in hybrid flavours – boasts the important title of being the cheapest EV on sale in the country, starting at just $48,490 in base Elite spec as tested here, while the Nissan Leaf is priced at $49,990 for the sole specification on offer for the Aussie market.
