Hyundai IONIQ 5 Sales Actually Up This Year!

Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 has defied the broader downturn in the US electric vehicle market, with sales rising 14% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. While the IONIQ 6 faces significant declines ahead of its discontinuation, the introduction of the IONIQ 9 has added to Hyundai’s growing EV presence. The brand also earned multiple safety awards and is expanding its footprint through initiatives like the Motional IONIQ 5 robotaxi service in Las Vegas, highlighting Hyundai’s resilience and innovation in a challenging market.
