Those are funny! Totally reminds me of my brother in law after he got his Model 3 lol 😂 Actually the Ionic 6 looks pretty cool now that I got a better look
It has nothing to do with living in the past. I seriously don't find giant wheels with paper thin tires attractive.
You can option different wheels. 20" wheels are basically the default on a lot of trims on new cars...see the upcoming Toyota Crown. But to be fair, I don't like 20" tires either, which is why I didn't get them for my Polestar, and why I'm going to change them out for 19" when I get my M3P, which comes with 20"
Hyundai Ioniq 5 sales are doing well, which means Ioniq 6 sales will probably also do well
US: Hyundai Ioniq 5 Sales In January 2023 Increased 56%
The volume remains relatively stable in recent months at around 1,500 units per month
Hyundai Motor America reports the best January ever in the United States. Last month, the company sold 52,001 units, which is nearly 9 percent more than a year ago.
Meanwhile, the company's all-electric car sales are growing rapidly. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 noted a 57 percent increase year-over-year to 1,548 (3 percent of the total volume), while the Hyundai Kona Electric sales improved by 334 percent (but the manufacturer does not reveal the exact number - BEV and ICE versions are counted together: 5,826).
It will be very interesting to see what will really happen with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 sales in 2023, but we are cautiously optimistic as the volume currently is stable at roughly 1,500 per month.
For reference, during the 12 months of 2022, the total sales of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 amounted to 22,982, which represents about 3.2 percent of the total volume.
The 2023 model year version of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is about $1,500 more expensive. The biggest unknown is the $7,500 federal tax credit eligibility under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) and how much the lack of eligibility might impact Hyundai.
This Spring, the all-new Hyundai Ioniq 6, with an EPA combined range of up to 361 miles (581 km), is expected to be available in dealerships in the US. That should strengthen the company's results.
In the long-term, Hyundai (and the broader Hyundai Motor Group) will produce electric cars locally in the US, so there will be no issue of lack of eligibility for local EV incentives.
Unfortunately, the official stats do not include the sales results of other all-electric or plug-in hybrid models (Kona Electric, Ioniq Electric, Ioniq Plug-In, Santa Fe PHEV and Tucson PHEV), as they are counted together with conventional or non-rechargeable hybrids.
The hydrogen fuel cell model - Hyundai Nexo - noted just 16 units in January (down 43%). In 2022 Hyundai sold 408 units (down 5%). There is not much progress in the FCEV segment in general.
agreed. sales are minimal. entirely supply constrained though.
I love the way people try and make justifications to avoid facing reality. If Hyundai had produced 100K, they would have sold 100K units and so on. The fact is they can't produce them in numbers enough to meet demand. If you go and try and buy one from a Hyundai dealership, you'll be waiting in a long, long queue, which is one of the reasons my brother in law bought a Model 3 instead
The car is already out at dealerships yet there's still a driving embargo on the motoring press. I swear Hyundai never even bothers with proper press launches anymore.
I saw it at the auto show. Better in person than online. But still weird. Front is better than the back that is for sure. A Toyota Crown is what immediately comes to mind as a competitor
Ioniq 6 is now available. Hopefully stealerships don't mark these up
wow that is a lot of money for a Sonata sized car.
$56,100 For 270 miles of range. LOL. Pay more, for less range
