Hyundai’s upcoming electric Ioniq V is generating buzz with a starting price below $15,000, positioning it as one of the most affordable electric vehicles on the market. However, the automaker has confirmed that the vehicle will not be available for direct purchase by consumers, limiting its accessibility despite its competitive pricing. Potential buyers will need to secure the car through a third-party dealer or leasing program, raising questions about how widely it will reach everyday drivers. The move underscores Hyundai’s strategy of blending affordability with controlled distribution in the electric vehicle sector.
