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.
How we ranked these
Sedans earn their reputation on range efficiency. Ranked primarily on range — the defining advantage of the body style — followed by charging speed.
Sedans' lower, more aerodynamic rooflines make them the range champions of the EV world. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a drag coefficient of just 0.21 Cd — half that of many SUVs. More range per kWh is the sedan's key advantage.
How fast the car charges at a DC fast charger. The best sedans combine long range with 150–200+ kW DC charging, making them genuinely formidable road-trip cars.
A small weighting to distinguish sedans with similar range and charging specs.

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.
