Why Hyundai Prices Are Going Up in 2025
Unofficial reports suggest that Hyundai prices across its 2025 vehicle lineup in the US are set to increase by around 1%. While the percentage may seem small, it translates to an average rise of roughly $400 — or about 1,500 Saudi riyals — on a vehicle priced at $40,000. This upcoming adjustment reflects growing pressure on global automakers, as the industry continues to face soaring costs for raw materials, logistics, and electronic components. Legacy tariffs introduced under President Trump are also contributing to the financial strain. What's Driving the Hyundai Price Increase? Hyundai, like many of its competitors, is navigating rising production expenses tied to materials such as aluminum, steel, and semiconductor chips — all essential to modern vehicles. In a formal statement, a company spokesperson said Hyundai only made this pricing decision after a thorough review of manufacturing and distribution costs to ensure continued quality and customer support. Prior to the anticipated increase, Hyundai prices in the US were approximately: 2025 Hyundai Tucson – $27,000 (≈ 101,250 SAR) 2025 Hyundai Sonata – $25,500 (≈ 95,625 SAR) 2025 Hyundai Palisade – $35,000 (≈ 131,250 SAR) 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 – $45,000 (≈ 168,750 SAR) After a 1% increase, expected Hyundai prices would look like this: Tucson – ~$27,270 (≈ 102,262 SAR) Sonata – ~$25,755 (≈ 96,581 SAR) Palisade – ~$35,350 (≈ 132,344 SAR) Ioniq 5 – ~$45,450 (≈ 170,438 SAR) Although the increase may seem modest, it still marks a notable shift for customers navigating a highly competitive car market. Applies to All Models — But There's Wiggle Room Hyundai clarified that the updated Hyundai prices will affect all model types — including EVs, hybrids, and traditional gasoline vehicles — with the changes taking effect for production and deliveries starting June 1, 2025. Buyers, however, may still find opportunities to save. Dealer offers, end-of-inventory sales, and various financing incentives can help cushion the impact. Whether you're eyeing a fuel-sipping Sonata Hybrid or considering the all-electric Ioniq 5, acting before the new pricing takes hold could result in significant savings. Additionally, Hyundai dealers may roll out special incentives such as cash rebates or extended low-interest financing options — up to 72 months on select models — to maintain sales momentum despite the increase in Hyundai prices. Impact on Market Position and Consumer Choices Industry experts suggest that Hyundai's measured approach to raising prices is likely intended to preserve its competitive edge without pushing buyers toward rival brands like Toyota, Nissan, Kia, or Mitsubishi. Still, if Hyundai prices rise beyond the current 1%, some consumers may explore more affordable alternatives or brands with better offers. Other manufacturers, including Ford and General Motors, are reportedly considering similar pricing strategies but are expected to wait for Q2 2025 sales data before making final moves. The expected 1% hike in Hyundai prices for 2025 models highlights the broader cost challenges facing the automotive sector. For buyers, the best advice is to plan ahead, compare incentives, and act quickly if looking to purchase before prices rise. While the increase itself isn't drastic, it underscores the changing dynamics of car pricing in today's economic climate — and raises questions about whether more adjustments are on the horizon.

Saudi FM Arrives in Jordan for Gaza Meeting
The Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, has arrived in Amman, the capital of Jordan, to participate in a meeting on Gaza, according to the Saudi Foreign Ministry. On Saturday, Prince Faisal bin Farhan landed in Amman to take part in a meeting of the Ministerial Committee assigned by the Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit on the developments in the Gaza Strip. The meeting will explore ways to support efforts to end the war and blockade on Gaza. The meeting originally aimed to coordinate a visit to Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, scheduled on Sunday. However, the visit was postponed due to Israel's decision to prevent the Arab delegation from meeting the President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, according to Jordan's Foreign Ministry. The delegation, which include the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan and the UAE, condemned the Israeli ban as a 'blatant violation' of Israel's obligations as an occupying power. The Saudi Foreign Minister traveled to Jordan right after an official visit to Syria, where he met with the Syrian Transitional President, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, in Damascus. Prince Faisal was accompanied by a high-level economic delegation to discuss avenues for joint cooperation aimed at supporting Syria's economy, enhancing the development of its governmental institutions, and fulfilling the aspirations of the Syrian people, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The discussions led to the announcement of a Saudi-Qatari joint financial support package for Syrian public sector employees for three months, according to Saudi Gazette. 'This support aims to contribute to economic and social stability, improve living conditions, and reinforce development efforts in Syria,' Saudi Arabia and Qatar said in a joint statement.
