Big EOFY discounts on award-winning cars

The 2025 Drive Car of the Year winners span 19 key buyer categories, ensuring there is something for all needs and budgets for those looking to buy some of the best cars Australia has to offer this end of financial year.

The overall DCOTY winner for 2025, the Hyundai Santa Fe, is now available with a choice of a 206kW/422Nm 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, or 172kW/367Nm 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol-electric hybrid, with a claimed combined cycle fuel use of just 5.6L/100km.

While there are no specific EOFY deals on the Santa Fe, Hyundai dealers have a range of trim grades and powertrains in stock and are keen to move cars before the end of the month.

Expect a discount of about $3000 off the recommended retail price to get your Santa Fe on the road.

The Chery Tiggo 4 is still offered at $23,990 drive away, but speaking to Chery dealers, there is an opportunity to save even more on this in the final days before EOFY by buying a car the dealer has in stock or on the floor.

Hyundai is offering Kona petrol models from $35,490 drive away (approximately a $1000 saving), and electric models are offered with a $5000 finance contribution bonus when buying with Hyundai finance.

The mid-sized Tucson petrol range starts from $39,990 drive away (approximately a $3500 saving), with the efficient Tucson Hybrid from $46,990 drive away (approximately a $3000 saving).

As noted above, there are no specific offers on the Santa Fe, but dealers are looking to clear current stock. One Hyundai dealer we spoke with is advertising cars with a $3000 approximate discount from RRP drive away price, before further negotiation.

The Ford Everest Black Edition is being offered for $69,000 drive away, which is already a decent $5200 saving over the non-black Trend variant on which it is based.

Honda is offering the Civic on a finance rate of 3.99 per cent on a 36-month term, and a bonus $250 gift card if you insure with Honda

The stylish Polestar 4 can be had with a complimentary Plus Pack ($8000k value) if buying a preconfigured car already in stock.

There are no specific deals on the Kia people-mover as stocks of Carnival are reasonably limited.

Individual dealers are offering their own EFOY incentives, though, with Chadstone Kia in Melbourne bundling a $1000 accessories voucher with every new car and demonstrator car sold.

Mini is offering up to $3000 deposit contribution on Countryman C when buying with Mini Finance.

You can finance a GV70 for $255 per week with a 6.99 per cent comparison rate offer under Genesis finance.

There are no specific offers on the electric Porsche Macan, but Porsche dealers nationwide have demonstrator models they are looking to clear with significant savings across the board.

There are no specific deals on the Defender 110 this end of the financial year, but Land Rover dealers nationally have demonstrator stocks they are keen to clear, with some offering significant discounts on retail pricing.

Runout models of the previously-badged Ssangyong Musso are attracting up to $4000 EOFY incentive on top of the ute’s already sharp pricing. Business buyers (ABN Holders) can secure a new Musso ELX twin-cab ute, with a 3500kg tow rating, from just $36,000 drive away.

The best value deal on the Ford Ranger sees ABN-buyers score the MY25.25 Ranger XLT (4x4 2.0-litre double-cab) out the door for $60,000 drive away, approximately $8000 off the retail on-road price.

For those wanting a little more specification, the MY25.25 Ranger Wildtrak 2.0-litre bi-turbo 4x4 is offered at $70,000 drive-away for all buyers, representing a saving of about $6500.

Both the Silverado LTZ and ZR2 models are being offered with complimentary three-year service packages. While there are no specific offers on the cars themselves, dealers are showing new stock with drive-away pricing up to $5000 less than retail.

The already keenly-priced BYD Seal can be yours for even less if you choose to buy through a Novated Lease. BYD is offering fleet pricing on all its cars (a 4 per cent discount or $1880 on the $46,990 Seal Dynamic), with the exception of the Dolphin Essential.

This could make the Seal yours for around $260 per week on a three-year lease, or about the same as a Toyota Camry Ascent Sport.

The Tesla Model 3 is being offered with a $3000 trade-in bonus, and on-the-ground stock is listed with discount pricing of around $5000 per car.

The ID. Buzz is in pretty limited supply this end of financial year, but there are some dealer demonstrators on the ground with dealers keen to shift these before June 30.

One dealer we spoke to said that a good deal can be had, particularly if customers were trading another family car that was in demand.
