Here's the thing... Hyundai could be doing even better in the US but they kinda hamstrung themselves.
I went looking for leases recently and I was mainly interested in PHEV or full EV. Hyundai had inventory of the Ioniq 5 and while I think it looks cool and the battery platform is cool, it was a bit expensive and its form factor didn't really work for my needs. The salesman tried to show me an Ioniq 6, the sedan thing with the fastback appearance that sort of looks like a Wish-dot-com Porsche or Mercedes. Again, didn't really fit my needs.
He informed me that they make PHEV Tuscon (a more classic small/medium SUV form factor) but Hyundai made the strategic decision not to market them in the Midwest US.
Completely stupid decision. I am positive they could have sold thousands of those in the area I live. Hyundai missed a layup there.
