Hyundai tops most fuel-efficient EVs in the US charts
Hyundai Motor, including Kia, topped Ford and GM to become the second best-selling EV brand in the US in the first three months of the year.
Between Hyundai’s dedicated IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 EVs, and Kia’s EV6 and EV9, the group sold over 18,500 EVs in Q1. And that’s not including the Kona Electric, Kia Niro EV, or its Genesis luxury brand EV sales, which could push it to over 30,000.
Hyundai upgraded the 2024 Kona Electric with more range, faster charger, and a sleek new design. Starting under $33,000, the Kona EV is one of the most affordable electric cars on the US market.

This is why I've been really excited reading the first drive reviews of the new IONIQ 5 N. While not designed to maximize efficiency, there are clearly lessons Hyundai has learned in developing that car around thermal management and battery chemistry, among other things, that will drive efficiency advancements in their mainline models.
Other 2024 Hyundai Models to make the list were the IONIQ 6 Standard Range RWD (#3 with 137MPGe), IONIQ 6 Long Range AWD 18″ wheels (#5 with 121 MPGe), IONIQ 6 Long Range RWD 20″ wheels (#7 with 117 MPGe), Kona Electric Long Range (#8 with 116 MPGe), and IONIQ 5 Long Range RWD (#10 with 114 MPGe).
The 2024 Kia EV6 Long Range RWD and EV6 Standard Range RWD models were tied for seventh at 117 MPGe.
The only other EVs to make the list were Lucid’s 2024 Air Pure RWD 19″ wheels (#2 with 137 MPGe), Air Pure RWD 20″ wheels, the 2024 BMW i4 eDrive35 Gran Groupe (#6 with 120 MPGe), and the Polestar 2 Single Motor 19″ wheels (#9 with 115 MPGe).
