Hyundai “just had its best sales month ever in the U.S.,” reports Electrek

Hyundai’s impressive EV lineup is charging up demand, with its best-selling Hyundai IONIQ 5 SUV also setting a new U.S. record after sales more than doubled in November. With 76,008 vehicles sold in November, Hyundai’s record-breaking U.S. sales streak is not slowing down. Hyundai Motor America CEO Randy Parker credited the growing demand for EVs and hybrid vehicles to the growth.

Hyundai’s EV sales rose 77% from last year, while hybrid sales surged 104%. Electrified retail sales (EV, PHEV, and hybrid models) climbed 92% in total last month. Several vehicles, including the Santa Fe HEV, Tucson PHEV, Tucson HEV, and IONIQ 5, had their best-ever sales month.

The article also notes increasing sales for Hyundai’s electric SUV, the IONIQ 5. Starting at $43,975 — and recently upgraded to a range of 245 miles (or 318 miles for the $46,550 extended-range model) — it features an NACS port for accessing Tesla’s Supercharger network.

    Agree. I just want an EV sedan that’s:

    1. Not a Tesla
    2. Affordable
    3. Available in the US

    Apparently that’s too much to ask. Everything is all crossover / “looks like a shoe” which is not what I want at all lol.

      Yeah. Something that isn’t another fucking SUV/Crossover would be great, to.
