Let’s Take a Look at the Electrified Lineup …

‍

IONIQ 6

This sleek electric sedan debuted last year to much fanfare; it’s garnered multiple awards across the globe for its design, advanced technology and efficient powertrain. In fact, the Preferred Long Range RWD version is Canada’s most efficient EV, with a rating of 16.2 kWh/100 km (combined) and a range of up to 550 km. An AWD version still gets a respectable 435 km of range. (iZEV compatible)

IONIQ 5

This electric SUV turned the industry on its head when it debuted in 2022. The sharp, angular lines, pixel lighting and versatile, innovative interior was like a concept car you could own. With a 84 kWh battery, the Preferred Long Range RWD features up to 488 km of range, with the Preferred Long Range AWD getting 414 km. (iZEV compatible)

IONIQ 5 N

Hyundai’s ‘N’ performance division was given an Ioniq 5 to play with; the result is an EV rivalling the performance of European supercars. Extensively modified from the base vehicle, the all-wheel-drive N is designed for the race track, with beefed-up mechanicals, dedicated performance technology, a larger 84 kWh battery and more than 600 hp available.

Kona Electric

The futuristic-styled Kona is also available as a BEV and, starting at just under $50,000, is Hyundai’s best-selling all-electric vehicle here in Canada. And for good reason; this compact SUV offers standout looks and plenty of technology along with the electric platform that features a range of up to 420 km. (iZEV compatible)

Tucson PHEV

This compact SUV offers the best of both worlds: with a 7.2 kWh battery, it gets up to 51 km of electric range, which is more than ample for most people’s daily drives. But the onboard gas engine allows for longer trips without worry. The Tucson PHEV has all the features you’d expect from the gas-powered version. (iZEV compatible)

‍

Tucson Hybrid

For those who don’t want to plug in, but who still want to save money at the pumps, the Tucson also comes in a hybrid format. Again, all the style and most features of the other variants are available, but this Hybrid delivers just 6.4 L/100 km in fuel economy on the combined rating.  

‍

Santa Fe Hybrid

The Santa Fe lineup features the hybrid as the base model, which is unusual for such advanced technology. Along with its rugged yet modern design, room for seven passengers and a long list of features, the Santa Fe Preferred boast a fuel economy of just 6.9 L/100 km combined, which is comparable with a smaller sedan.

‍

Elantra Luxury Hybrid

For those who prefer a compact sedan, the Elantra is already a good choice in the segment when it comes to edgy flair, performance and technology. Add the hybrid powertrain, however, and it becomes a fuel miser; it’s rated at 4.7 L/100 km combined, which is comparable with some of the most efficient hybrids on the market today.

‍

Nexo

The Nexo represents an alternative universe when it comes to electrified vehicles; this compact SUV uses a hydrogen fuel cell to power its electric battery and motors. While hydrogen infrastructure is in its infancy here in Canada, it shows Hyundai’s commitment to exploring zero-emission technology; in fact, the Nexo was the first HFCV available for sale to the Canadian public (in select provinces).

Hyundai has also converted its onboard charging ports from the CSS standard to NACS to gain access to more than 12,000 Tesla Supercharger stations across North America. And in October, it opened the doors on a new, dedicated EV and battery factory in the US state of Georgia.

With great investment, planning and a lineup of world-class vehicles, Hyundai has quickly become a leader in the EV realm, not just in Canada but around the world. And from the looks of things, it’s not about to rest on its laurels.
