Hyundai is riding an impressive wave of success. South Korea’s largest automaker has achieved a historic milestone in the US market, with its highest-ever sales volume recorded in a single month. The company set a brand-new US record for sales, with numbers more than doubling in November alone.
Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 electric crossover saw a strong start to its US market debut, with the automaker reporting over 7,000 units sold in November.
With a staggering 76,008 vehicles sold in November, Hyundai’s remarkable US sales streak shows no signs of abating. Hyundai Motor America’s CEO, Randy Parker, attributed the surging interest in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid cars to the company’s expanded offerings.
South Korean automaker Hyundai has witnessed a significant surge in electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid sales, with its EV gross sales increasing by 77% year-over-year. Meanwhile, hybrid sales have seen an even more impressive jump of 104%, indicating a growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles. Electric vehicle, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, and hybrid variants drove a remarkable 92% surge in overall retail sales for the entire previous month.
A record-breaking number of Hyundai’s most popular models – including the Santa Fe HEV, Tucson PHEV, Tucson HEV, and IONIQ 5 – collectively achieved their highest monthly sales figures ever recorded.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 remains a top-performing electric vehicle in the US market. Last month, Hyundai sold a total of 4,989 IONIQ 5 models, a significant surge of more than 110% compared to the 2,372 units sold in November 2023, and a notable 11% increase from the previous report in October.
In the initial 11-month period of 2024, Hyundai reported a significant surge in demand for its IONIQ 5 model within the US market, with an impressive 30% year-over-year increase, selling no less than 39,805 units by the end of that time frame. Following the launch of the revamped 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5, the company has announced a significant boost in its overall gross sales.

Hyundai is manufacturing the 2025 IONIQ 5 models at its state-of-the-art electric vehicle (EV) production facility in Georgia, USA. US-built Hyundai electric vehicles are eligible for a partial $3,750 tax credit, but Hyundai offsets this limitation by offering the full $7,500 credit to lessees of its EV models. Once the new battery plant is operational in the following year, Hyundai anticipates that its US-manufactured electric vehicles will qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit.
Hyundai is poised to gain traction in the US market with the impending launch of its inaugural three-row electric SUV, the IONIQ 9, set to arrive next year.
