Hyundai confirmed to Business Insider that it will stop selling the standard Korean-made Ioniq 6 in the United States.
The retro-style sedan never matched the success of its crossover sibling, the Ioniq 5 (which has had strong sales this year; in May, the company reported delivering 5,002 units, up 16% from last year).
Hyundai said it sold only 229 Ioniq 6 units in February.
“Sedan sales have declined a lot over the last decade, and the Ioniq 6 is no exception,” Sam Abuelsamid, vice president of market research at Telemetry, told Business Insider. “Without enough sales to justify production in the United States, the numbers just don’t add up for Hyundai.”
Hyundai said it plans to import a limited number of high-performance Ioniq 6 N models to the US, a more expensive variant with more oomph from the electric motor and track-focused upgrades.
“In the meantime, the 2025 Ioniq 6 sedans remain available at dealerships along with our award-winning American-assembled Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9 SUVs,” the automaker said.
The Ioniq 6 will continue to ship to Canadian dealers.
