Hyundai Launches Ioniq, A Dedicated EV Sub-Brand
Ioniq EVs will start to arrive in Hyundai showrooms early next year.
Clearly, simply developing and debuting new models no longer satisfies Hyundai. In late 2015, not long
after launching the second-generation Hyundai Genesis, the Korean automotive giant started the
luxury brand Genesis. The company now has three sedans: G70, G80, G90 and one crossover SUV, GV80,
competing against Audi, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and others. And
While Hyundai is not going as far as building yet another brand this time, Ioniq models will
start exclusively as battery-electric vehicles. There will be no hybrids or plug-in hybrids in
the line-up, and they will ride on a new platform. Furthermore, these BEV models
emphasize making owners feel connected whether inside or out of the car.
“With a new emphasis on connected living, we will offer electrified experiences integral
to an eco-friendly lifestyle,” said Wonhong Cho, Hyundai Motor Company’s executive vice
president and global chief marketing officer. What that means exactly is unclear and
something Autoweek will keep a close eye on.
Named E-GMP, the new platform enables both fast charging and long driving ranges, says
Hyundai. The has automaker already committed to building three models from that
platform, two crossovers and a sedan, not-so-creatively named Ioniq 5, 6, and 7. Odd numbers indicate utes and even

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the first to arrive on U.S. shores, early in 2021. Hyundai says it is based on the Concept EV 45,
which debuted at the 2019 Frankfurt Auto Show (hey, remember auto shows?). Hyundai says the Ioniq 5 is a midsize
SUV, but it’s definitely on the small side of midsize if it’s based on the Concept 45.
Models two and three will follow in numerical order, with the Ioniq 6 sedan expected in 2022. The 6 is also based on a
concept, the EV Prophecy, which was expected at Geneva this year before
