Looks like the trims are different; looking at the Kia NZ website, my model is closer to the Earth trim, which is listed at $99k NZD. I would agree the base Model Y is a better value than the base EV6, but once you start moving up the trim levels, it's not as mismatched.
According to this article, last summer the prices were closer (I assume it was a similar situation to the US, where EVs were hard to find due to demand)

Obviously I'm not familiar with pricing dynamics of NZ, like tariffs, tax incentives, or the role that the dealer network plays in influences prices.
- dzhiurgis 3y agoYes Model Y price drops are very recent hence it's such a deal. One more thing I forgot - base Air doesn't even have leather seats (not that I like Tesla's vegan leather). For incentives - we do get $7100 rebate which doesn't even cover GST you pay for car, but it's something.
