We do not rank the cheapest IONIQ 5 in America
And here is exactly why, so you can judge it for yourself.
Hyundai publishes a window sticker for every IONIQ 5 in its inventory feed but no dealer asking price. A national cheapest list needs an advertised price on every car, so there is nothing here to rank.
We do read a real advertised price off some selling dealers' own websites, and 13 of the 725 IONIQ 5 listings we track carry one today. That is 1.8 percent of them, drawn from whichever dealers we have reached so far rather than from a representative sample. Ranking that slice would produce a page titled the cheapest IONIQ 5 in America that was nothing of the kind, so we would rather publish no number than a confident wrong one. The share grows as we cover more dealers, and this page changes when it is broad enough to mean something.
What still works for this model: every window sticker, the trim and equipment breakdown, how long each car has sat on the lot, and which dealers hold the most of them.
