The Hyundai IONIQ 5 began out a bit quietly when it hit the US market. I wasn’t significantly bought on it, liking the Kia EV6 a bit extra. Nonetheless, it has grown and grown on me, and would now be my #1 selection for a brand new electrical automotive if I used to be prepared to purchase one. I’ve heard related issues from a number of others, and a few of our prime commenters have gotten one.
So, it was not tremendous stunning to see that the IONIQ 5’s gross sales have jumped lots in latest months. Nonetheless, to see that gross sales surged 110% in November in comparison with November 2023 did make my eyes bulge.
The IONIQ 5 rose from 2,372 gross sales in November 2023 to 4,989 gross sales in November 2024. The dangerous information is the IONIQ 6 noticed its gross sales decline barely, by 19% from 1,386 gross sales in November 2023 to 1,121 gross sales in November 2024. That’s strongly offset by the IONIQ 5’s development, although, so it’s nonetheless a robust web constructive. And the IONIQ 5 complete was a brand new report for the mannequin.
Wanting throughout the primary 11 months of the 12 months, IONIQ 5 gross sales had been up 30%, from 30,657 gross sales in 2023 to 39,805 gross sales in 2024. In the meantime, IONIQ 6 gross sales had been up by a slight 1%, from 10,943 in 2023 to 11,055 in 2024.
“Hybrid automobile complete gross sales jumped 114%, whereas complete EV gross sales grew 70%. This was the all-time month for Santa Fe HEV, Tucson PHEV, Tucson HEV and IONIQ 5,” Hyundai notes. “Retail gross sales for November 2024 set new information climbing 15%. EV retail gross sales elevated 77% year-over-year, hybrid retail gross sales grew by 104% and electrified (EV, hybrid, plug-in hybrid) retail gross sales jumped 92%.”
Clearly, Hyundai is appreciative of its EV gross sales enterprise and pleased with its development. It appears to be like like EV gross sales aren’t dropping for one more main auto model in spite of everything. Who knew?
“Hyundai delivered an distinctive gross sales month, pushed by the robust efficiency of our EV and hybrid autos,” mentioned Randy Parker, CEO of Hyundai Motor America. “Prospects proceed to be drawn to Hyundai’s numerous automobile lineup which might meet a wide range of buyer wants. We additionally noticed vital curiosity and pleasure for the worldwide debut of the U.S.-built IONIQ 9 and we will’t wait to carry it to market subsequent 12 months.” Sure, the IONIQ 9 ought to jack up the model’s EV gross sales but once more.
Total, Hyundai spent most of its month-to-month press launch about auto gross sales writing about its electrical and hybrid fashions. That’s a fantastic signal not only for right now or final month, but in addition for coming months and years. Hyundai appears centered on going into the longer term with compelling mass-market electrical autos and letting EVs take the middle stage now. The corporate continues to be distant from the vast majority of its gross sales being electrical. However at the least it’s shifting in the suitable course and nonetheless seeing fast development in its EV enterprise.
