In the past year, Hyundai has unveiled redesigns for the Kona and the Santa Fe with much success. Drivers are always looking for the next best thing in terms of design, technology, safety features, and comfort. Both models went above and beyond to hit those marks and brought the Hyundai brand to a whole new generation of drivers. What’s next for Hyundai? Let’s find out. Visit us at Crain Hyundai of Bentonville to see the latest and greatest Hyundai has to offer you next.

Hyundai’s Diverse Hybrid & Electric Lineup

What’s great about the new Kona and Santa Fe, besides their amazing makeovers, is that they are also fuel efficient, which is another key element many drivers are looking for before they make a purchase. Hyundai knows that and has been at the forefront of making its popular vehicles available in gas, hybrid, and electric versions. For example, the Kona is available as an all-EV, the Kona Electric, and the Santa Fe has a hybrid version.

If you’re looking to go green, Hyundai has the vehicle to get you there. In addition to the Kona and the Santa Fe, they offer hybrid versions in the Tucson, Elantra, and Sonata. If you want to go all the way green, they recently added new EV models to their lineup with the Ioniq 5 and the Ioniq 6. You see where this is going, right? Hyundai is invested in making drivers happy, and part of that is providing them with options, including EV models.

While not everyone is ready for an all-EV car, Hyundai is ready and will be waiting for you. Once you see their designs, you might be getting one quicker than you thought. If you’re looking for something futuristic and modern now, the Ioniq 5 is an SUV, while the Ioniq 6 is a sedan, are available now. But what if you’re looking for a bigger EV? Hyundai’s already ahead of you.

Looking Ahead: The Ioniq Seven Concept EV SUV

Recently, they announced a new EV is already in the works. Another Ioniq is planned, or as they say, the evolution continues with Hyundai’s first-ever three-row electric SUV. Currently named the Ioniq Seven, spelled out and not in number form like the Ioniq 5 and 6, is so far a concept. They are calling it a bold reimagining of what transportation can be.
