Hyundai just notched its fifth straight record sales month in the US, driven by hot new EVs like the 2025 IONIQ 5. Last month was its best February in the US so far, but Hyundai says even more growth is coming.
Hyundai IONIQ 5 helps drive US sales growth in February
βThis was the best ever February for Hyundai in total sales and the fifth consecutive month of total sales records,β Randy Parker, Hyundaiβs CEO for North America said after the milestone.
Hyundai sold over 62,000 vehicles in the US last month, 3% more than in February 2024 and outpacing the forecasted industry average of around 1%.
The growth was fueled by βcontinued growth in EVs and hybridsβ with electrified sales surging 25% from last February.
Hyundaiβs Sante Fe HEV, Tucson, and IONIQ 6 hit new February records with sales up 194%, 2%, and 12% respectively.
Its best-selling electric SUV, the IONIQ 5, also received a significant upgrade this year. The new 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 features more driving range (up to 318 miles), an upgraded interior and exterior, and a native NACS port so you can charge at Tesla Superchargers.
With another 2,442 IONIQ 5βs (+22%) sold last month, Hyundai has now sold 4,692 models through the first three months of 2025, up 36% from the prior year.
Drivers now have access to more than double the number of DC fast chargers (+36,000), making road trips that much easier.
The upgraded interior features dual 12.3β³ driver display and infotainment screens with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The 2025 IONIQ 5 is built at Hyundaiβs new EV Metaplant in Georgia, alongside its first three-row electric SUV, the IONIQ. With the IONIQ 9 launching this Spring, Hyundai expects the momentum to continue in 2025. Parker said Hyundaiβs strong and diverse line-up βwill propel us to further gains in market shareβ this year.
New US-made EVs, including the 2025 IONIQ 5 and 2026 IONIQ 9, are expected to qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit later this year.
Until then, Hyundai is passing it on through leasing, making monthly rates ultra affordable. With monthly rates starting at just $229 per month. At that, itβs even cheaper than a Sonata despite costing nearly twice as much.
