Here are some of the discounts and special offers on new hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars in Australia from the country's top-selling brands to help you save money at the pump.
Australians are feeling the pinch of the current fuel crisis, with petrol getting closer to the $3 per litre mark, while diesel is already above that figure in most areas around the country.
Searches for more fuel-efficient options, including hybrids and electric vehicles, have been on the rise, as consumers look for cheaper cars to run.
A number of manufacturers are offering deals on some of their top-selling hybrid models, so we've collated a list of some of the best out there from Australia's best-selling car brands.
This is not a complete list – and many of these are due to expire at the end of this month, so get in quick – but it's a slice of some of the discounts out there right now.
Mazda is offering the 2025-plate CX-60 P50e Pure plug-in hybrid for $53,990 drive-away, a significant saving estimated at $13,000 to $17,000, depending on the state of registration.
Hyundai is offering a long list of drive-away deals across its hybrid range, from sedans to small, medium and large SUVs.
Note: All prices listed are drive-away.
Meanwhile, BYD is offering its popular Shark 6 Premium plug-in hybrid ute for $57,900 drive-away, provided the ute is ordered before the end of the month, and delivered by 19 April.
It equates to savings of between $1983 and $5953, depending on the state of registration, while a $42,990 drive-away deal on the entry-level Sealion 6 PHEV translates to a discount of $1770 to $4568.
