None were sold in June of 2022. ​

Hyundai sold 240,005 vehicles in the first half of 2022, down 30.3% below the 343,867 sold through the same period of 2021.

On the bright side, Hyundai’s June monthly sales results were down just 13% which was slightly better than industry predictions that forecasted a 15.8% decline.

Hyundai established a new retail sales record in June for Santa Fe and set new total sales records for Tucson HEV.

Hyundai Model Q2 Highlights

New all-time best Q2 records were set for Tucson HEV, Veloster N, and Palisade with SUVs representing 76% of the total retail mix. Hyundai Green sales of 7,886 represented 12.5% of retail, up 6%. Hyundai had no fleet sales in the first half of 2022. <-- That is another noteworthy addition to this sales report.

Hyundai Model June and Year-to-Date Sales Highlights

Ioniq June sales were 0. That is correct, 0. I assume chips and materials allocated for the Ioniq lineup are instead being used to produce the SUVs and Ioniq 5 BEV. YTD, sales of 3,662 were down 67% from the 11,107 sold through the same period of 2021.

Ioniq 5’s YTD sales of 13,692 is proving to be a highlight and with chip and material shortages easing, maybe, just maybe prices will become reasonable and sales in a more normal state will ensue. Read as no more markups.

Tucson YT sales of 84,071 were up 0.7% over the 83,517 sold during the first half of 2021.
