Hyundai cuts the price of the IONIQ 5 in the North American market

Hyundai Motor America has recently announced a significant reduction in the price of the 2026 edition of the IONIQ 5 in the North American market, which places the South Korean electric vehicle based on the E-GMP platform among the most attractive options in its segment compared to the competition.

The discounts applied by Hyundai vary between $7,600 and $9,800, depending on the version chosen. For example, the base IONIQ 5 SE RWD model is now available from just $35,000, instead of the $42,600 it cost in its 2025 edition. This represents a saving of $7,600.

Customers who opt for higher versions can take advantage of even more generous discounts, which can reach, as we have already mentioned, up to $9,800. This is the case of the SEL RWD and SEL AWD versions of the 2026 IONIQ 5. The first is now available from $39,800 -instead of $49,600-, and the second from $43,300 -instead of $53,100-.

This price adjustment comes after a record third quarter for the IONIQ 5 in the United States, with 22,000 units delivered in this market, and a 90 percent increase in sales volume compared with the same quarter of the previous year. Furthermore, in the first nine months of the year, Hyundai has sold 41,091 units of the IONIQ 5 in the United States, which is 35 percent more than in the same period last year.

The 2026 IONIQ 5 offers some minor improvements over the previous year’s edition, including a built-in charger for AC charging that supports higher power, as well as a new paint colour option, Sage Silver Matte.
