Spurred by the Inflation Recovery Act, Hyundai is acting as quickly as possible to bring EV assembly and battery production to North America.

Three fully electric models join the safety organization's honor roll, offering top occupant safety, accident avoidance systems, and more.

The EV in the Hyundai Kona lineup is better in every way, and a new base-battery version could prove a great value—although much depends on pricing, yet to come.

The 2024 Sonata Hybrid will continue with a 2.0-liter inline-4 engine as part of its hybrid system, but it will now feature an adjustable regenerative braking mode aimed at increasing efficiency.

Brakes are unaffected and owners can continue to drive their cars until recall work is completed, Hyundai says.

The Ioniq 5 N is expected to launch later this year, likely competing against the similarly sized Tesla Model Y Performance and the Kia EV6 GT.

No recall has been issued, yet, but the NHTSA's investigating the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 over sudden power loss complaints.

And the Ioniq 6 SE Long Range, with a larger battery pack, offers a 361-mile range that outdoes all current Model 3 variants.

The new battery plant will be adjacent to the Savannah-area Metaplant America—a location that’s due to make EVs for Hyundai, Genesis, and Kia.

Reduced lease rates on these models are due to a $7,500 incentive Hyundai is offering on leases for these models—likely federal money passed down as a subsidy.

The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric sedan outpaces the Tesla Model 3, improves on the related Hyundai Ioniq 5, and matches the Lucid Air as the most efficient electric car on sale in the U.S.

The front end is lower, with a horizontal look that some may see as borrowed from the Ioniq 6 EV.

Robotic charging is seen as a necessity not just for self-driving vehicles, but to make EVs workable for those with mobility issues.

Hyundai Mobis argues that by incorporating sensor inputs, its air suspension could have a positive impact on performance and efficiency.

The Kona Electric also leads the design of the Kona lineup, and offers V2L tech that could help provide backup power.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is among the models that will be offered on a monthly basis, with no long-term commitment.

Hyundai's 140 MPGe (4.2 mi/kwh) combined figure also ties the Lucid Air for efficiency, although the RWD Lucid Air Pure due later in the year will likely leap well ahead.

With e-corner, the Ioniq 5 can crab sideways like a GMC Hummer EV, or turn in place much like the "tank turn" maneuver exhibited by Rivian and Mercedes-Benz EQG prototypes.

A Kona hybrid will join the Kona Electric and other gasoline versions at launch, Hyundai confirmed, in a reveal of a redesigned Kona model line.

Hyundai introduced its E-GMP platform two years ago—offering a possibility of coming close to matching Tesla on efficiency and range. With silicon-carbide tech, it might potentially pass it.
