Hyundai's EV exports to US plunge 88% amid shift to local production
Hyundai Motor Group's exports of electric vehicles (EVs) from South Korea to the US dropped sharply in the first five months of 2025, as the company accelerates its strategy to localise production in the American market, IANS reports. According to data released by the Korea Automobile & Mobility Association (KAMA), Hyundai Motor and Kia together exported 7,156 EVs to the US between January and May — an 88 per cent decline from 59,705 units in the same period last year. This marks the lowest January–May export volume to the US since the group began intensifying its electrification efforts in 2021. Hyundai, including its Genesis brand, recorded shipments of 3,906 EVs — down 87 per cent year-on-year. Kia's exports fell even further, by 89.1 per cent, to 3,250 units. Uncertain outlook The steep decline follows Hyundai's decision to shift production of EVs for the US market to its new facility in Georgia — Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America. In the first half of the year, the plant produced 28,957 units of the Ioniq 5 and 4,187 units of the Ioniq 9. Despite the push to produce locally, Hyundai and Kia have seen their overall US EV sales fall. According to Wards Intelligence, the group sold 44,555 EVs in the US during the first half of 2025 — a drop of 28 per cent compared to the same period in 2024. The outlook remains uncertain, with potential impacts from upcoming policy changes. Industry analysts warn that the planned phase-out of US EV tax credits in September — under the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' a tax reform measure led by President Donald Trump — could further dampen sales. A report by the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) estimates that Hyundai Motor Group could lose up to 45,828 units in annual US EV sales, amounting to a projected revenue loss of $1.95 billion. The US accounted for 36 per cent of Hyundai's total EV exports last year.

Ioniq 9 powers reforestation drones
Hyundai Motor's electric sport utility vehicle, the Ioniq 9, is converted into a mobile drone station to support forest restoration in wildfire-stricken Uljin, North Gyeongsang Province, as part of the carmaker's social responsibility program. Powered by its battery, the full-size SUV operates a high-precision drone control system equipped with a computer and dual monitors, enabling drones to disperse a mixture of tree seeds and soil across off-road areas.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 9 price and specs
Hyundai's most expensive vehicle yet in Australia is now on sale. The Hyundai Ioniq 9, a flagship three-row electric SUV, is coming here only in top-spec Calligraphy trim and wearing a price tag of $119,750 before on-road costs. The seven-seat EV is available now and the only options are digital exterior mirrors and a six-seat configuration. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The Ioniq 9 is the first Hyundai vehicle in Australia with Digital Key 2.0, a smartphone-based key that can be used to lock, unlock and start the vehicle using near-field communication and ultra-wideband technology. This feature doesn't require a mobile network signal and, depending on the smartphone type, will continue to function even if a user's smartphone battery is flat. Users can also share digital access to the vehicle with up to 15 devices. Also debuting in the Ioniq 9 is Google Places Search, allowing users to use text search to find places using a specific text string – for example, "restaurants near me". The Ioniq 9 rides Hyundai Motor Group's E-GMP platform, a dedicated architecture for electric vehicles (EVs). This also underpins the similarly sized Kia EV9, which is the Ioniq 9's most direct rival. The EV9 is available in three variants, though the flagship GT-Line – most comparable to the Ioniq 9 – is priced at $121,000 before on-road costs. The Ioniq 9 is the priciest Hyundai yet, surpassing even the Ioniq 5 N high-performance electric SUV, which is currently priced at $110,383 before on-road costs. The Ioniq 9 is being offered here only in dual-motor all-wheel drive guise, with a pair of 157kW/350Nm electric motors. It rides on MacPherson strut front and five-link rear suspension, with a self-levelling damper system to help reduce sag when loaded with heavy cargo. Hyundai claims it takes as little as 24 minutes to charge the Ioniq 9 from 10 to 80 per cent using a 350kW DC fast-charger. While it rides on a different platform and has a longer wheelbase, the Ioniq 9 has an almost identical footprint to the upcoming second-generation Palisade large SUV. The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty and an eight-year, 160,000km high-voltage battery warranty. Under Hyundai's Lifetime Service Plan capped-price servicing scheme, the Ioniq 9 requires a service at 24 months/30,000km which costs $660, and then one at 48 months or 60,000km which costs $685. The Hyundai Ioniq 9 has yet to be tested by ANCAP or Euro NCAP. Standard safety equipment includes: There's just one Ioniq 9 trim level offered in Australia – the top-spec Calligraphy. Standard equipment includes: Also included is a complimentary five-year subscription to Hyundai Bluelink connected car services. This is transferrable to subsequent owners within the five-year period, and includes features such as: Digital exterior mirrors are a $3000 option. A six-seat configuration is available for an extra $2000, replacing the second-row three-seat bench and bringing: Metallic and pearl exterior paint finishes cost an extra $750.
