New here but been lurking for some time. I am a recipient of the concierge email that mentions the above. I have been very suspicious of the Fall 2021 time frame since here it is Sept. and nothing from Hyundai until now.

I received the same email and it’s also on the website. Not surprised and I wouldn’t mind the delay if it means getting all the features and not paying a higher price because of parts shortages.
I wish I knew what “winter 2021“ meant. There’s not a lot of winter in 2021. I assume that really means early 2022.
I really wish they would just say “here’s why it’s delayed and on this date you’ll find out more information“.

 

Website was updated and says Winter 2021. Bummer.

 

From the hyundaiusa.com website right now...

 

Don't forget we got this bit of info today as well:

"There’s more! You’ll also get a first look at the IONIQ 5 EV Wednesday, September 22,

8 AM–12 PM PDT on Hyundai Showroom Live at HyundaiUSA.com. Ask questions and get answers live. So save the date—you won’t want to miss out."

I saw showroom and thought they where going to show the Ioniq 5 at showrooms and then I saw "Hyundai Showroom Live at HyundaiUSA.com". Never mind.

What questions would anyone really have besides price, real availability, standard features and options. Maybe seeing the car in-person too.

With regards to Winter 2021 I am with @J333 they really mean early next year.

Tricked me as well. Then I saw it's the same ol, same ol and

 

Winter starts on what - the 20th?!?

So we have a time frame for the car. December 21st to the 31st!

Technically true. But I suspect that the States will not see an IONIQ 5 EV in dealers till sometime in January at best.

 

Does seem strange that the vehicle is already available in certain markets. The US one of the largest markets if not THE largest won't be receiving one for several months. I can't believe that the chip shortage is the only issue.

 

There are regulatory drivers in the EU to avoid fines for exceeding fleet emission standards so manufacturers are prioritizing deliveries to the EU.

 

I understand with the current situation delaying the Ioniq 5 in the US. It is well documented the delays and cost increases across all industries.

Just don’t understand how pricing and standard features is still a guess. The Showroom live event is nearly 4 months after you could place a reservation. This is assuming that information will be provided on that event. It maybe even longer.

I know the VW ID.4 wasn’t the smoothest reservation process for the FE orders but at least you had upfront pricing and knew most of the features day one.

 

I reserved an IONIQ 5 on day one, and while disappointed, I might be better off financially by waiting until 2022. This year I probably won't have $7,500 in federal tax liability, and Congress may change the rules for incentives, possibly for the better. On top of that, one California incentive program ran out of funds for 2021 and won't accept new applications until 2022. I suppose I'll also get to see many other new EV introductions through the rest of this year, and maybe a few will show up in auto shows.

 

Interesting that the site no longer accepts reservations for the IONIQ 5. The parts issue must have delayed the Fall rollout and put a cap on how many Hyundai can produce this year.

 

Remains to be seen how long that 'Winter 21' timeframe holds true or will we soon see 'Spring 22' as the target.
I think there is some under lying factor playing in this and no one outside of Hyundai Corp. knows what that is.

 

It may but hopefully it doesn’t end up the like the Nissan Ariya. Which I thought was going to be available Summer 2021 and now they are saying reservations later this year.

 

Underlying factors are probably good reception and sales in Europe and Asia, combined with chip shortage. No point in selling cars you can’t produce. We only got Tesla y in Europe now for that reason. And pricing is lower in the USA, Tesla y, the reference, is a lot more expensive here. So probably higher margin for Europe sales vs USA sales.

 

What's interesting is that KIA released a brand new commercial with Simon Cowell at the helm of the brand new EV6 for the NA market. I don't recall seeing any new US IONIQ 5 ads. Could this mean that the EV6 will arrive here earlier than the recently delayed I5?
Sadly he says nothing about the EV6 but brags about achieving residency in Vegas. Morrissey had also done a residency in Vegas but isn't in an EV6 Commerical, wtf.

Are you sure Kia released a commercial or Kia shared NBC’s commercial with sponsored product placement

 

Some more details about the delay.

If they are starting production for US bound EVs in October really only the west cost will be able to get Ioniq 5s by the end of the year. I can't imagine cars coming from South Korea to the east cost would make it by late December.

 

I also received the email stating the delay until winter. Another interesting point I found in the very small print in previous documents was that you HAD TO PURCHASE the IONIQ 5 by the end of 2021 to get the 2 years of free 30-minute charging. With the delays, I will keep an eye open to see if that is extended. Very interesting that this limitation existed at all.

 

Hopefully next Wednesday (9/22) a lot of the unknows will be answered or enough to make a decision on what EV to get will become more clear.

 

Would be great if a moderator could merge these two threads. No need for two independent discussions.

Fall 2021 is now Winter 2021

A few websites state that the Winter delay may have been a mistake (despite the site still saying winter).

UPDATE Hyundai Ioniq 5 Not Delayed Until Winter Launch In The US

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 will still go on sale in the United States this fall, not in the winter.

UPDATE: Hyundai Ioniq 5 May Be Delayed In US, Website Says Winter Launch

The official US website for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 now states, "Coming Winter 2021," right at the top of the page. It was supposed to arrive this fall.

Why I was hoping threads could be merged as this inaccuracy was discussed in the other one.

 

I honestly think production started sometime in August. The "winter update" really meant that they still need time to figure out the MSRP. 😂🤣

Particularly since the Showroom Live host said production for the US started in August for RWD and early September for AWD (or vice versa).

I really like hearing what’s happening around the world. So many perspective and ideas.

Hopefully a lot of the unkowns will be answered in less than 24 hours.

 

Is there an upcoming press breif?

 

I think he is referring to the live broadcast that is scheduled for tomorrow. I personally doubt there will be any new information. But I am hoping they will show a production car versus the pre-production they had on the 3 previous days of live broadcast.

I was referring to the live broadcast tomorrow.

How many more times can they show the car without pricing? We now know the features of each of the 3 trim level. Now we need to know the pricing and availability short term (for 13 states?) and long term for all 50 states.

Audi finally came out with their info (pricing, specs and trim levels) on the Q4. The Ioniq 5 needs to be next.

Wow, that’s some pretty strong pricing from Audi. I’m thinking Kia is sweating a bit knowing they priced the EV6 first edition at $58,500. Price pressure on Hyundai is a great thing for us!

 

I guess we will not be getting any pricing or more firm date on when the Ioniq 5 today. The live showroom guy said they hope to have the Ioniq 5 by the end of the year but that isn't a firm date.

 

Yes, he met my expectations. No price and/or availability info.

 

Which makes switching over to a Tesla Y more appealing, especially if Congress reinstates EV rebates.

 

Delays delays its to be expected in 2021, good things come to those who wait. I tossed $500 down on an pre order EV6 locally and will take whichever presents itself first and offers the best value. The rear vehicle appearance is actually looking better than when I saw it initially and I can live with it, the higher speed trips appear to favor the EV6 for range on the highway due to aerodynamics but consumption still seems a bit higher. Would really like to see both in person to compare fit finish before opting for one but probably will not be likely in Canada...
