Hyundai will produce electric vehicles under a dedicated new brand named IONIQ. With the launch of the IONIQ brand, Hyundai aims to become one of the world’s top 3 manufacturers of battery-powered vehicles by 2025.

In 2022, Ioniq will launch the Ioniq 6, an electric sedan based on the stunning Prophecy concept car from earlier this year.

Finally, in early 2024, there will be a larger SUV called the Ioniq 7.

Hyundai celebrated the brand launch by turning the London Eye into a giant letter ‘Q’ with electric

lights.

Hyundai has celebrated the launch of IONIQ by turning the London Eye into a giant letter “Q” using electric lights just before the official reopening of the famous attraction.

IONIQ EV models will be built on the E-GMP platform.

IONIQ brand models will sit on an Electric Global Modular Platform, known as E-GMP, that will enable fast charging capability and plentiful driving range.

The EV-dedicated platform will allow Hyundai to re-imagine the vehicle interior as “smart living space” with highly adjustable seats, wireless connectivity and unique features such as a glove box designed as drawers. The platform paradigm shift will extend into the user interfaces that will be simple, intuitive and ergonomically designed to help occupants feel at ease.
