Hyundai introduces new $5K IONIQ 6 price cut
According to a letter sent to Hyundai dealers last week (via Cars Direct), several IONIQ 6 trims are eligible for $5,000 in retail bonus cash.
On Hyundai’s website, the $5,000 featured cash offer applies to the SE Standard Range, SE, and SEL models. Meanwhile, Buyers of the premium IONIQ 6 Limited are eligible for a $2,000 cash offer (up from $1,000 previously). The promotion cannot be combined with any other offers.
The discount is available now through July 5, 2023. Hyundai is lowering the price by 33% compared to its previous $3,750 offering.
At $5,000 off, you could get your hands on a new IONIQ 6 (SE Standard Range) for around $37,715 (regular starting at $42,715). The promotion also applies to its first electric vehicle, the IONIQ 5 electric SUV.
In comparison, the Tesla Model 3 starts at $40,240 on top of a new three months of free unlimited Supercharging offer.

Keep in mind all Tesla Models, including the Model 3, now qualify for the $7,500 tax credit. Although it’s now a better time to buy the IONIQ 6, Hyundai is still offering a $7,500 lease incentive to remain competitive in lieu of the tax credit.
On the other hand, Hyundai is slashing IONIQ 6 financing rates from 2.75% APR for 60 months to 1.49%. The automaker states:
Effective 6/14/2023 – 7/5/2023 Special Low 0.99% APR (up to 36 months) at $28 per $1,000 financed for qualified buyers. Special Low 0.99% APR (up to 48 months) at $21 per $1,000 financed for qualified buyers. 1.49% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) up to 60 months. 1.99% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) up to 72 months. APR financing available, subject to credit approval by Hyundai Motor Finance to very well qualified buyers and not available on balloon financing.
Compared to the previous 2.75% APR, this could amount to nearly $1,700 in savings on a four-year loan for a $45,000 car.
