Hyundai Motor (005380)‘Ioniq 5’, the first pure electric car of the company, achieved a contract for 35,000 units a week after the pre-contract began.

According to Hyundai Motor Company, Ioniq 5, which started a pre-contract on the 25th of last month, recorded 35,000 contracts on the 4th. Hyundai Motor Company set a domestic sales target of 26,500 units of the Ioniq 5 this year, but exceeded the target a week after the start of the pre-contract. The IONIC 5, which was first released on the 23rd of last month, recorded 23,760 units on the first day of the pre-contract, and achieved this year’s target in two days.

In the meantime, the record on the first day of pre-contracting for all finished car models released by Hyundai Motor Group has also exceeded. Previously, among Hyundai models, the 6th-generation Grandeur partially modified model (17,294 units) was the largest, and among the Hyundai Motor Group models, Kia’s fourth-generation carnival (23,096 units) was the most. .

Another analysis suggests that consumers’ impatience that there is a possibility that the subsidies for electric vehicles may be exhausted early this year was the background of the sensation of pre-contracting for the IONIQ 5. This year, the government and local governments have decided to pay subsidies to 70,000 vehicles, and Ioniq 5 already occupies half of them only through pre-contracts, so there is a growing possibility that the subsidies will be exhausted early.

In addition, this year, Tesla’s Model Y, Mercedes-Benz’s EQA, and Kia CV, and other electric car models are scheduled to be released this year. Because of this, subsidies are expected to run out at a faster rate than last year. Last year, by the end of September, most of the subsidies for electric vehicles from major local governments such as Seoul, Busan, and Sejong were exhausted.
