Hyundai has confirmed that the standard version of the Hyundai IONIQ 6 has been discontinued for the 2026 model year. However, IONIQ 6 will continue to produce its N-Line variant going forward.

Is The Hyundai IONIQ 6 Dead?

Yes and no. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 is not completely dead because the IONIQ 6 will live on with the IONIQ 6 N-Line continuing production in the U.S. The standard IONIQ 6 that we know today will cease production in the U.S., although a brand-new redesign will be released in other countries for the 2026 model year. It is important to note that the IONIQ 6 is imported from South Korea. Between new 25% import tariffs and a shift in buyer preference toward SUVs, Hyundai has decided to pull the plug on the standard sedan for the 2026 model year. This marks the end of the SE, SEL, and Limited trims as we know them.
