Save Big on Kia EV9 Air

If you’re looking for a new car – we have good news for you!

Kia has slashed the price of the Kia EV9 Air for a limited time only, bringing the vehicle under the Luxury Car Tax threshold (below $89,332 plus on-road costs).

The price drop means extra savings for drivers, who will also benefit from Australia’s Electric Car Discount, as eligible EVs are exempt from the 47 per cent Fringe Benefits Tax that applies to most other cars on the market. 

But your savings don’t have to stop there – with a novated lease, drivers can save even more.

So, how does it work?

A novated lease falls under the salary packaging umbrella. It’s an agreement set up between you, your employer and a novated lease provider that enables you to salary sacrifice a vehicle and its running costs.

By doing this, you can also minimise the GST you pay on a vehicle and its running costs.

Instead of paying for your car outright, you can enter into a lease agreement for the car with the novated lease provider (for a fixed period – one to five years). At the end of the lease, you have the flexibility to either pay the residual and keep the car, sell the car and upgrade, or extend the lease for another term. 

One of Australia’s fastest-growing novated lease specialists leaselab has crunched the numbers to see what this could look like. 

For example, if a person in the current tax year earned $140,000, they would pay around $36,867 in tax, leaving them with $103,133 in their pocket. 

If they leased a new Kia EV9 Air that retails for $93,500 drive away through a novated lease, they could instantly minimise the GST payable on the vehicle and reduce their personal income tax bill, potentially creating over $63,357.84 in savings over a five-year lease.

Known for its sleek design, spacious interior, long range and seven seats, the Kia EV9 has car enthusiasts enthralled. 

This premium model has won awards around the globe for its cutting-edge technology, like the prestigious 2024 World Car of the Year and 2024 World Electric Vehicle.
