Hyundai wait times in 2022: How long are Hyundai’s delivery delays?

After a new Hyundai, but not sure how long you'll have to wait?

Issues such as semiconductor chip shortages, shipping problems and sickness and isolation have affected the ability of manufacturers like Hyundai to keep their production lines going over the last two years.

As such, all of the Korean brand's models are currently experiencing some delays.

However, some models are in greater supply than others, with flexibility around powertrains, specification and vehicle colour likely to see a vehicle in your driveway sooner.

Overall, according to Price My Car, the average wait time for a Hyundai is now 151 days – compared to 108 days in January 2022.

The worst affected is the brand's European-sourced i30 N hot hatch, with a one-year or longer wait for an order placed today. Those with an existing order are also in for a similar wait, depending on when their deposit was placed.

In addition, the smaller i20 N is currently unavailable for purchase, as Hyundai Australia has temporarily halted sales of the light hatch until its production allocation catches up with the order bank.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric vehicle remains exclusively available online at present, with the most recent allocation of 200 units opened on October 26.

“[Hyundai Australia has] good, continuous supply of Hyundai models arriving the country, however given the increase in customer demand for our products, we have a large backlog of customer orders we need to fill,” a spokesperson told Wheels earlier this year.

“We continually have around 20,000 vehicles that are deliverable within a two-month window (this includes vehicles in the country, in transit, in production and scheduled for production).

“Availability in dealerships will vary depending on model and variant (engine, trim grade, colour, region).”

In addition, Hyundai Australia said none of its models are being altered due to the chip shortage.

It added that the logistics team is "actively prioritising vehicle allocation to existing customer orders (ensuring we limit customer wait times as much as possible)".

WIth all of the above in mind, it is important to consider this article a guide only.
