Hyundai and Kia have revealed the waiting periods for new vehicle deliveries from their Genesis brand for May. Reflecting the current economic situation, the overall waiting periods have notably decreased. However, for popular models like SUVs and certain RV hybrids, while the wait has shortened, customers may still face delays of several months.
For Hyundai's large SUV, the Palisade Hybrid, customers can expect an 8-month wait if they order a model that hasn't been released yet. The gasoline version has a waiting period of about 2 months. The Santa Fe Hybrid requires a wait of 3 weeks, while the gasoline model is available for immediate delivery.
The Tucson Hybrid and Diesel models take about 3 weeks, while the gasoline model has a waiting period of approximately 2 weeks. The Kona Hybrid and EV require about 1.5 months, while the gasoline model takes around 2 weeks. For electric vehicles, the Ioniq 9 has a wait time of 1.5 months.
The Hyundai Avante Hybrid, a key sedan model, has a waiting period of 1.5 months, as do the gasoline and LPi versions. The Avante N is available for immediate delivery, but if customers choose options for the 2026 model, they may face a wait of 2 to 3 weeks. The Sonata and Grandeur models can be delivered immediately, although some premium options may cause delays. The Ioniq 5 EV is also available for immediate delivery, while the Ioniq 5 N requires a wait of 1.5 months. All trims of the Ioniq 6 are available for immediate delivery.
For the Genesis brand, the G70 has a delivery time of 2 weeks, though some variations may occur depending on the assembly, body color, and wheel specifications. The G80 takes about 3 weeks for all models, while the G90, including the long-wheelbase version, also requires around 3 weeks. However, including the EGL package may change the delivery time. The GV70, GV80, and GV80 Coupe models take about 2 weeks, but some popular GV80 specifications may face delays due to stock shortages.
Kia also released its delivery schedule for May, but the waiting times appear to be longer compared to Hyundai's Genesis brand. The models with the longest waits at Kia are the Carnival and Sorento. The Carnival Hybrid takes 8 months, while the gasoline and diesel versions require about 1.5 months. However, if customers choose the Gravity trim with side steps and LED tailgate lamps, the wait extends to 10 months for the hybrid and 3 months for the diesel and gasoline models. The Carnival Hi-Limousine has a wait of 3 months for the 4-passenger version and 1.5 months for the 7 to 9-passenger configurations, but all specifications excluding the Signature full option and the hybrid Noblesse version add an additional 2 months to the delivery time.
The Sorento Hybrid requires a waiting period of 6 to 7 months, while the gasoline and diesel versions take about 1.5 months. The recently launched Tazman has a waiting time of 1.5 to 2 months for standard specifications, while the Canopy Single & Double configurations take about 2 to 2.5 months. The Sportage Hybrid has a delivery time of 2 months, while the gasoline model has a wait of 5 months, and the LPG model takes 2.5 months.
For passenger vehicles, the Morning gasoline model has a waiting period of 4.5 months, while the popular Ray gasoline model takes about 6 months, and the Gravity trim can take up to 7 months. The Ray EV also requires about 2 months for delivery. Kia's flagship sedans, the K5, K8, and K9, have a delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks for all specifications.
