While the world is waiting for the Ioniq 5, Hyundai adjusted its 2021 model year lineup.
Hyundai’s plug-in lineup in the U.S. currently consists of three models, the all-electric Kona Electric and IONIQ Electric, as well as the plug-in hybrid IONIQ Plug-In. The plug-in hybrid Hyundai Sonata is no longer available and will not get a new generation.
Let’s take a look at the 2021 model year versions of the Hyundai lineup. In terms of prices, all three seem to get a $200 MSRP bump, and the destination charge for the IONIQ increased as well a little bit, to $1,005 (for Kona it’s still $1,175).
Prices
| Model | Base Price | Dest. Charge | Tax Credit | Effective Price |
| 2021 Hyundai IONIQ Electric | $33,245 | +$1,005 | $7,500 | $26,750 |
| 2021 Hyundai IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid | $26,700 | +$1,005 | $4,543 | $23,162 |
| 2021 Hyundai Kona Electric | $37,390 | +$1,175 | $7,500 | $31,065 |
