Hyundai Staria Load Electric is on sale from $70,990, $21,000 more than the diesel, with 450km of WLTP range and a 2,000kg tow rating the Hybrid lacks.

Geely Starray EM-i Extended Range is bigger than a RAV4, asks about two-thirds the money, and leaves Toyota's new 2026 update looking very old indeed.

Subaru Trailseeker AWD does 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds from $63,990, and the base car beats the $69,990 Touring on both driving range and ride comfort.
