That sucks, that was the only EV I was considering other than the mythical Slate.
The Ioniq 6 is currently assembled in South Korea, unlike several other Hyundai electric vehicles sold in the United States. Hyundai produces the Ioniq 5 and the recently introduced Ioniq 9 electric SUVs at its plant near Savannah in the state of Georgia. The change in the US lineup therefore primarily affects the imported electric sedan.
I’m not super surprised. I see Ionic 5s all over the place on the west coast, but 6s are rare.
Americans gobble up crossovers.
When I bought my 2025 BMW i4 M50 it was voted the second best non-Tesla EV you could buy in North America. Number one was the Ioniq 5n. I think it has more going for it than it’s crossoverness.
Voted by whom?
It’s been two years and I read/watched a fuckton of reviews. I believe it was Autoweek that did their rankings, but it might have been Road & Track. I could look it up again, but I’m not that curious. Good luck on your search.
Yeah so, basically car enthusiasts, and more specifically not consumers.
If you want to see what consumers think, look at the sales figures.
That makes no sense. Sales figures do not measure only quality and performance, they also take into account affordability, marketing, dealership distribution, etc… The car enthusiast outlets tend.to focus only on the car.
If you want to buy the most popular car, look at sales figures. If you want to buy the best car, look at expert reviews.
It makes perfect sense when you realize that the comment you replied to was about popular cars, and not good ones.
No. I replied to the comment insinuating that the ioniq5 sold well because it is a crossover by noting that it was voted to be the best non-tesla EV in North America (for model year 2025). People bought it because it was good, not just because it was a crossover.
As a 5 owner I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
Granted I formerly had a Bolt EUV and liked the size. The 5 is a tad large for my taste.
The Kona electric and the new Nissan Leaf are comparable to the Bolt EUV
Americans are also fucking stupid.
