EV sales plunge forces Porsche, Fiat to slash prices across Australia
Don't miss out on the headlines from Motoring News. Followed categories will be added to My News. Car companies have slashed thousands of dollars from the prices of electric vehicles, with widespread discounts as buyers hit the brakes on electric vehicle sales. Electric vehicle sales in Australia are down 6 per cent compared to 2024 in the first six months of this year – and that's despite more EV options being available to customers than ever before. And we aren't just talking about the cutthroat Chinese brands reducing costs to compete – there are some surprising discounts to be had. MORE: AI system outrages drivers Porsche's Macan phases out petrol power in a bold EV move. Picture: Supplied The Porsche Macan is the most surprising offer on the table. Industry veteran Paul Gover posted on LinkedIn: 'Through all my many years in motoring I had never seen a discount on anything new from Porsche Cars Australia. Until today. 'Do Macan owners and shoppers want a Macan EV? The sales results say 'not yet' and dealers have been sounding the alarm bells for more than 18 months. Some even ordered a full year's supply of the combustion Macan before the final cut-off for production in Germany.' The German sports car specialist rarely offers deals. MORE: The best cars of the 21st century X SUBSCRIBER ONLY But Macan EV shoppers get a '$5000 Trade-In Bonus' on all cars, plus a 'Deposit Contribution' for the new plug-in Porker ($3000 on the Macan, Macan 4; $4000 on Macan S; $5000 on Macan Turbo). And the brand is further sweetening the deal with a five-year factory warranty and five years roadside assistance at no cost. Another European brand doing discounts is Fiat. Fiat's 500e Abarth Scorpionissima. Photo: Supplied The pint-sized Fiat 500e is now being offered at a more fitting price of $38,990 drive-away – some $16,000 off the existing price ($52,500 plus on-roads). And the hotter pop-and-crackle Abarth 500e is now $43,990 drive-away, about $18,000 less than the original price with on-roads included. What is the best car of the 21st century? Toyota LandCruiser Ford Mustang Holden Commodore VW Golf Porsche 911 Toyota HiLux MG3 Tesla Model Y Toyota RAV4 Bugatti Veyron Cast your vote Fiat – part of the Stellantis Group – isn't the only marque in the stable to be chopping it up. Jeep is still doing $40,000 drive-away deals on the Avenger electric small SUV, which is the country's cheapest vehicle of its type. And there are even better prices on in-stock models with low kilometres, as low as $34,990 drive-away for a car with 2000km on the clock. MORE: Why tradies are wrong about utes 2024 Chery Omoda E5. Photo: Supplied There are also budget bargains to be had from China, too, with the outgoing Chery Omoda E5 being offered with up to $6000 off retail. The 430km-EV-range small SUV starts at $40,300 drive-away, and includes a free home charger – and it's one of the only EVs on the market with a full-size spare wheel. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY Cox Automotive analyst Mike Costello says the raging retail offers point to potentially bigger concerns in the industry. 'Discounts or incentives tell us there are still challenges to overcome in terms of increasing consumer demand, although there are plenty of signs that consumers will consider an EV if the price and performance is right for them. 'Over the next few years carmakers are expected to increase the number of EVs they offer to meet government efficiency targets, so there's every change that great deals will become a common sight,' he said. And while it isn't a full EV, Mercedes-Benz has even repositioned the mild-hybrid C43 AMG sedan to be almost $20,000 cheaper than before, too.

2025 Chery E5 price and specs
Chery's first and thus far only electric vehicle (EV) in Australia now has a slightly different name. The Chery Omoda E5 small electric SUV has become the Chery E5, with the Omoda lettering on its front and rear ends and steering wheel replaced with Chery lettering. That's because Chery will launch the Omoda brand in its own right in Australia during the second half of 2025. While the Chery C5 (formerly the Chery Omoda 5) and E5 are sold under this brand in other markets, they won't be here. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The E5 Urban (formerly the Omoda E5 BX) is now priced from $36,990 before on-road costs, matching the promotional pricing available for its predecessor since early this year. That's a whopping $6000 less than when that model was released late last year. The E5 Ultimate (formerly the Omoda E5 EX) is now priced at $40,990 before on-roads, which is $1000 more than the promotional pricing introduced earlier this year but $5000 less than at launch. The spec list for the E5 is essentially unchanged from the Omoda E5, with a couple of exceptions. "Based on a global realignment, the only amends are the removal of navigation in the EX/BX models, and puddle lamps in EX," said a Chery Australia spokesperson. "Both models continue to have Apple CarPlay/Android Auto for navigation requirements." The Chery E5 is on sale now. Drive-away pricing differs from state to state. The E5 features MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension. The Chery E5 is backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty and an eight-year, unlimited-kilometre battery warranty. Capped-price servicing information isn't yet available, though the outgoing Omoda E5 requires servicing every 12 months or 20,000km, with the total price over seven years working out to $1901.34. The Chery E5 has a five-star safety rating from ANCAP, based on testing conducted in 2022 of the Omoda 5 on which it's based.
