CarTell take
We haven't driven the HS yet. On paper, the jump from Essence petrol to the Super Hybrid Essence PHEV is $12,000. The maths only works if you charge at home and run short daily commutes on electricity.
Why consider it
- $33,990 drive-away entry, 5-star ANCAP from 2024, and the Hybrid+ PHEV claiming 120 km of NEDC electric range.
What to know
- 7-speed DCT can hesitate at slow speeds, and the 120 km PHEV figure is NEDC rather than WLTP, so real-world range will be lower.
Who it suits
Value-led families chasing the cheapest medium SUV entry in Australia and the option of a PHEV with the longest claimed EV range in segment.

Look at the alternatives if you want proven Toyota or Mazda resale data, you want AWD, or you want a WLTP EV range figure rather than NEDC on the PHEV.
