For $30,000 drive-away in Australia in 2025-2026, your brand new options have become more limited due to price rises, but there are still several solid choices, mostly in the light hatch and small SUV segment. The cheapest new cars consistently under $30k drive-away include the MG3 hatch, which starts from around $23,990-$26,990 drive-away and is currently Australia's cheapest new car, the Kia Picanto which is around $24,000-$28,000, the Suzuki Swift from around $27,990, and the Toyota Yaris which starts around $28,500-$30,500. In the small SUV category, the MG ZS, Chery Omoda 5, Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, and GWM Haval Jolion can be found for $28,990-$32,000 drive-away with sharp promotional pricing. The Hyundai Venue and Suzuki Jimny base models also hover just above $30k. All of these will be base models with manual or basic automatic transmissions, and may not include advanced safety tech like blind-spot monitoring on the cheapest variants. If you can stretch to $32,000-$33,000, you open up the Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport, Mazda2 and Kia Stonic. Keep in mind that drive-away pricing includes GST, dealer delivery and 12 months registration, but many advertised prices are for ABN holders or with special offers.
