Hyundai is ramping up its EV offensive. The firm has exposed plans to release 17 electric vehicles across its Hyundai as well as Genesis brands, in a quote to hold seven per cent of the worldwide EV market share by the end of the decade. To accomplish this, Hyundai aims to offer 1.87 million electric vehicles a year by 2030.

The Korean brand will broaden its Ioniq electric line-up with 11 new designs in the next eight years. These will comply with the very first design from the sub-brand, the Ioniq 5, which took car reveal vehicle of the Year honours last year. An Ioniq 6 saloon will be next, as well as we’ve already spied the Tesla design 3 rival in prototype form, ahead of release later this year. The production vehicle will draw heavily from the striking Hyundai Prophecy idea vehicle shown at Geneva in 2020.

Following that, a big electric SUV is in development, in the mould of the Hyundai seven idea exposed at last year’s LA car Show. This will be called the Ioniq 7, as well as we expect the production vehicle to carefully line up with the bold, imposing seven concept. That car’s space-age ‘lounge style’ interior won’t make it to the final car, which might offer three-row seating when it shows up in 2024.
