Hyundai confirmed to Business Insider that it will stop selling the Korean-built, standard Ioniq 6 in the US.
The retro-styled sedan never matched the success of its crossover sibling, the Ioniq 5 (which the company said saw a surprising 33% sales year-over-year increase in February and another 14% increase in March).
Hyundai said it sold just 229 Ioniq 6 units in February.
“Sedan sales have declined a lot over the past decade, and the Ioniq 6 is no exception,” Sam Abuelsamid, the vice president of market research at Telemetry, told Business Insider. “Without enough sales to justify US production, 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 pricier variant with more oomph in the electric motor and track-focused upgrades.
“In the meantime, 2025 Ioniq 6 sedans continue to be available at dealers alongside our award-winning, US-assembled Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9 SUVs,” the automaker said.
The Ioniq 6 will still ship to Canadian dealerships.
