Best Electric Sedans in Australia
Sedans are a natural fit for electric powertrains. Their lower roofline reduces aerodynamic drag significantly, which is why electric sedans typically achieve the best real-world range per kWh of any body style. If efficiency and highway range are priorities, a sedan body is worth serious consideration.

Buying guide
Why sedans achieve the best real-world range
A lower, more tapered roofline dramatically reduces aerodynamic drag. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a drag coefficient of 0.21 Cd — among the lowest of any production car. At 110 km/h, aerodynamics account for a majority of energy use, so a slippery sedan body directly extends how far you can drive per charge.
Boot space is often larger than it looks
Electric sedans frequently have a traditional rear boot plus a front storage compartment (frunk) in place of an engine. Total combined cargo capacity can rival similarly priced SUVs, even if the boot opening is narrower. Check total litres including the frunk when comparing storage.
Performance per dollar
Dual-motor AWD sedans offer 0–100 km/h times that rival performance sports cars. If acceleration matters, a performance sedan variant will typically beat an equivalently priced performance SUV due to lower weight and better aerodynamics.
