About Hyundai
Hyundai embarked on its electric vehicle journey with the SONATA Electric in 1991, marking the beginning of its electric car development. In 2016, Hyundai introduced the IONIQ, its first dedicated eco-friendly model, offering three types of electric vehicles: hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and battery electric vehicle (BEV). In 2018, Hyundai introduced the long-range, KONA Electric, signifying a step forward. The pivotal moment arrived in 2021 with the launch of the IONIQ brand, dedicated exclusively to electric vehicles, ushering a new era for electric cars.
IONIQ stands as Hyundai's dedicated electric vehicle brand, building upon the legacy of the original IONIQ known for its forward-thinking and clean mobility technology. The word IONIQ combines 'Ion,' signifying energy generated through electricity, and 'Unique,' highlighting Hyundai's distinctive approach.
The IONIQ brand is committed to enhancing the electric vehicle customer experiences, not just by focusing on electric vehicle technology but also by delivering innovative mobility experiences to customers.
