Hyundai financing in Australia

Hyundai is one of the top-selling car manufacturers in the country, known for its reliability and innovation. In 2025, Australians bought more than 77,200 new Hyundais, making it the fifth most popular new car brand in the country, according to the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries. Only Toyota, Ford, Mazda and Kia sold more new cars.

Along with the ever-popular i30 hatch, Hyundai is best-known for its range of SUVs, with the Tucson, Santa Fe, and Palisade leading the charge. Hyundai’s growing range of electric vehicles, including the zippy Kona and IONIQ, are also now challenging the dominant EV brands, such as Tesla.

When it comes to financing your Hyundai, you also have plenty of options to choose from. With many lenders competing for your business, it's important to do your research and, importantly, compare Hyundai interest rates to ensure you're getting the best deal possible.

Hyundai car loan repayment examples are calculated using monthly repayments with a fixed interest rate, a 5-year term, and estimated vehicle costs as at December 2025. Estimated repayments do not include any fees the lender may charge.

We surveyed more than 1,000 Australian drivers to find out if they’d buy their current car again (either the same make or model).

Nearly two-thirds (65.4%) said yes, they love their current car. Among these satisfied drivers, Hyundai ranked third, with 11.4% driving one – behind only Toyota and Mazda. That’s notably higher than Hyundai’s year-to-date market share of 6.4% for new car sales as of November 2025, according to the FCAI.

Our data also reveals that one in three Australians (33%) have bought a car brand influenced by childhood familiarity with the company. Hyundai ranks fourth at 8%, coming behind Toyota (36%), Mazda (13%) and Holden (9%).

Types of Hyundai finance options available

  1. Secured loan

    Financing your Hyundai with a secured car loan is a popular option because the car serves as security, reducing the lender's risk. If you fail to repay the loan, the lender can take back the car and sell it to cover the remaining debt. Loan terms usually range from 1 to 7 years, and you can choose between fixed or variable interest rates.

  2. Unsecured loan

    An unsecured personal loan is similar to a car loan but doesn’t require the Hyundai to be used as security. Since the loan isn’t secured by the car, lenders typically charge higher interest rates to cover the additional risk. Aside from this, unsecured loans work much like car loans.

  3. Novated lease

    A novated lease allows you to finance a new or used Hyundai through your employer. This type of lease provides substantial tax advantages, particularly for electric vehicles, when compared to a traditional car loan. With a novated lease, you can cover the cost of your Hyundai and its running expenses (like charging, car insurance, etc.) using your pre-tax income. Additionally, you’ll receive a GST discount on both the vehicle and its running costs.

    For eligible Hyundai models (like the IONIQ and Kona), novated leases may also be exempt from fringe benefits tax (FBT). This can result in significant savings compared to other financing options in Australia, provided the car’s value is below the luxury car tax (LCT) threshold.

  4. Finance lease

    A finance lease for a Hyundai enables a business to lease the vehicle for a set period, making regular payments for its use. In this arrangement, the lender purchases the Hyundai on behalf of the business.

    At the lease’s end, the business has the option to buy the car, extend the lease or return it. Finance leases can offer tax advantages, as lease payments may be deductible, and provide a way for businesses to access a vehicle without the initial expense of purchasing it.

  5. Chattel mortgage

    A chattel mortgage is a financing option where a business borrows money to buy the vehicle, using the Hyundai as security for the loan. The business immediately owns the car, but the lender holds a mortgage on it until the loan is fully repaid.

    This option lets businesses claim GST on the vehicle’s purchase price and potentially deduct interest and depreciation costs as business expenses. It’s ideal for businesses that want to own their Hyundai from day one while spreading the cost over time.

  6. Hyundai green loan

    If you're thinking about a vehicle from Hyundai's electric range (such as the Kona or IONIQ), you might qualify for a green car loan. This type of financing is offered by some lenders for environmentally-friendly purchases. In most cases, a green loan works like a secured car loan but may offer advantages like a lower interest rate and reduced fees.

Hyundai dealer finance

Like many manufacturers, Hyundai offers direct financing to its customers, including a fixed-rate car loan called the "Hyundai Guaranteed Future Value."

With this financing, you can either make a deposit upfront or opt for a balloon payment, which reduces your regular repayments but requires you to pay an agreed amount at the end of the contract. Hyundai offers loan terms ranging from 24 to 48 months, with an expected annual mileage between 10,000 and 40,000 km. At the end of the loan, you have the option to trade in, keep or return the vehicle.

Hyundai will determine the Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) of the car at the end of the loan. If you choose to return it, Hyundai will pay you the agreed GFV, which will be applied toward your final payment, provided certain conditions and kilometre limits are met.

Hyundai also offers personal car finance through its dealers. However, when considering dealer finance, it's important to note that it’s often marketed as the most convenient option, but it might not always be the best deal.

As advised by the Australian Federal Government’s Moneysmart website, it's wise to shop around for the best financing option. This gives you access to a wider range of loans and leases, which can be approved just as quickly as dealer finance.

How to get the best Hyundai finance deal

While the advertised car loan interest rate will be a key factor in the overall cost of your Hyundai finance, there are other aspects to consider when seeking the best deal:

Percent 3 svg

Ongoing finance rate

Compare finance options from banks, credit unions, specialist lenders and Hyundai’s dealer finance. Keep in mind that some dealer finance offers might start with a low introductory rate, but may increase after a set period. If you choose Hyundai dealer finance, look for a competitive rate that remains consistent throughout the entire loan term.

Fees

Some lenders may charge application fees and ongoing costs that can add up quickly. Be mindful of additional fees, such as late payment charges or penalties for paying off your Hyundai loan early. Regardless of how you finance your Hyundai, expect some fees, so ensure they’re minimal and don’t outweigh the benefits of a low interest rate.

Finance term

Consider the length of your loan term carefully. While a longer term can lower your monthly repayments, it typically results in higher overall interest costs. For instance, if you finance a Hyundai Tucson (FWD) priced at $39,100 with an interest rate of 8% p.a., you’ll pay an additional $3,623 in interest over a 7-year term compared to a 5-year term.

Repayment flexibility

Having the option to make extra repayments without penalties gives you the flexibility to pay off your loan early, potentially reducing the total interest you pay over time and saving you money. It’s also worth considering whether the loan allows you to choose between weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments to best fit your budget.

Eligibility for Hyundai finance

The eligibility criteria for a Hyundai car loan will differ depending on the lender, but generally, you will need to:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Hold Australian citizenship or permanent residency
  • Have a steady income that can support loan repayments
  • Meet other credit criteria set by the lender, including your credit score, expenses and existing debt

How to apply for Hyundai finance

FAQs about Hyundai finance

There is a wide range of finance options for buying a Hyundai in Australia, including secured car loans, commercial finance options (such as chattel mortgages and leasing), novated leasing for personal use, and dealer finance.

The length of time it takes for Hyundai finance to be approved will vary depending on the lender and its processes. If you can provide the necessary documentation to support your application (such as bank statements and payslips) at the time you apply, this will usually speed up the process. In many cases, it is possible to receive approval on the same business day.

The credit score requirements for Hyundai finance will vary depending on the lender you choose. Generally, if you are applying for a car loan through a major bank, you will need to have a ‘good’ credit score (typically above 660).

However, some smaller lenders may be more flexible and accept borrowers with an "average" credit score (above 460). Some lenders even specialise in offering bad credit car loans, which may be an option for financing a Hyundai if you have a less-than-perfect credit history.

Yes, it's possible to bundle the cost of installing a home charging station for your Hyundai into your financing package. However, the specifics of how this can be arranged will depend on the lender and in some cases you may need to take out a separate loan for this purpose.

Yes, some Australian states and territories offer financial incentives for drivers who purchase an eco-friendly vehicle like a Hyundai Kona or IONIQ. These incentives include stamp duty exemptions and cash rebates of up to $3,000.

It's important to note that there are usually limits on the vehicle purchase price which means not all Hyundai models will be eligible for these schemes.

You should also be able to find Hyundai finance options that come with a balloon payment. This means you will have lower repayments during the loan term, with a large final repayment at the end of the term.
