This expanded hybrid lineup will cater to customers seeking a balance of efficiency, affordability, and performance.

IONIQ 3: Hyundai’s New Mass-Market EV for Europe

Hyundai is doubling down on region-specific EVs, beginning with the highly anticipated IONIQ 3 for Europe. Designed for mass-market accessibility, it will feature next-generation infotainment and advanced SDV technology.

Key Highlights:

• Compact design tailored for European urban drivers.
• Seamless integration with Hyundai’s new Pleos Connect infotainment system.
• Positioned below the IONIQ 5 to capture entry-level EV buyers.

First India-Built Hyundai EV

In India, Hyundai will launch the country’s first EV developed locally. The model will be supported by a domestic supply chain, strengthening Hyundai’s long-term commitment to one of the world’s fastest-growing EV markets.

This move not only boosts affordability but also aligns with India’s government-led EV adoption goals.

Hyundai in China: Elexio SUV and New Electric Sedan

For China, Hyundai announced two localized EV models:

• Hyundai Elexio SUV – a region-exclusive EV SUV.
• C-segment electric sedan – tailored to urban consumers seeking affordable electrification.

These models underscore Hyundai’s commitment to building locally designed EVs for China, the world’s largest EV market.

Extended Range EVs: Over 600 Miles of Driving

Hyundai’s most ambitious EV innovation is the Extended Range EV (EREV), set to launch in 2027.

What Sets Hyundai’s EREV Apart?

This innovation makes Hyundai one of the first automakers to bridge the gap between hybrids and full EVs with an affordable long-range solution.

Pickup Trucks & Commercial EVs

Hyundai is expanding beyond passenger cars:

• New mid-size pickup truck coming to North America before 2030, targeting the heart of the U.S. truck market.
