Overview
- Hyundai confirmed the regular Ioniq 6 will not return for 2026 in the U.S., with remaining 2025 sedans still on dealer lots and the Ioniq 6 N arriving later this year in limited quantities.
- Company sales data show the sedan’s U.S. demand has slumped, with fewer than 300 sold in February 2026 and roughly 10,000 in 2025, far trailing the U.S.-built Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9 SUVs.
- Outlets attribute the move to weak U.S. demand and added costs for Korea-built imports; Hyundai has not named tariffs as the sole cause.
- The Ioniq 6 N retains the nameplate with a dual‑motor setup around 641 hp and 568 lb‑ft, an 84‑kWh battery, and an estimated 0–60 mph time of about 3.2 seconds, with pricing expected near $65,000–$70,000.
- Kia is making parallel adjustments, delaying the Korea-built EV6 GT and other planned EVs for the U.S., signaling broader lineup reshuffling that narrows lower-priced imported EV choices.
