Hyundai IONIQ 5 helps drive US sales growth in February

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.

“This was the best ever February for Hyundai in total sales and the fifth consecutive month of total sales records,” Randy Parker, Hyundai’s 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 “continued growth in EVs and hybrids” with electrified sales surging 25% from last February.

Hyundai’s 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 5’s (+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 2025 IONIQ 5 is built at Hyundai’s 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 Hyundai’s strong and diverse line-up “will propel us to further gains in market share” this year.
