In less than two weeks, Hyundai will unveil its “groundbreaking” new Pleos brand. The brand will introduce advanced new software and tech that will be used in upcoming Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles. We will also get our first look at its new development platform. Here’s what we know about Hyundai Pleos so far.

The HD arm of Hyundai has just released the first official images of the new, battery-electric HX19e mini excavator – the first ever production electric excavator from the global South Korean manufacturer.

Is Hyundai about to drop another EV? A newly filed trademark for the name “Insteroid,” suggests a more powerful version of the Inster EV, Hyundai’s affordable electric crossover SUV, could be on the way. Here’s what we know so far.

Hyundai’s first three-row fully electric SUV is finally almost here. The “game-changing” IONIQ 9 can drive further, charge faster, has more than enough interior space, and much more. After launching in its home market, Hyundai looks to shake up the SUV market in the US and Europe.

Hyundai and Kia are on a hot streak. The Korean auto giants just notched another month of strong sales growth in February, thanks to new low-cost EVs like Kia’s EV3 and the Hyundai Casper (Inster EV). With more models on the way this year, Hyundai and Kia setting the stage for an even bigger 2025.

Hyundai just notched its fifth straight record sales month in the US, driven by hot new EVs like the 2025 IONIQ 5. Last month was its best February in the US so far, but Hyundai says even more growth is coming.

Hyundai Motor Group, including Kia, doesn’t expect to launch solid-state EV batteries until 2030, at the earliest. The company said there’s “a lot of uncertainty” around the promising new battery tech. With others, including Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Stellantis, Honda, and Chinese battery giants CATL and BYD, who will be the first to get the “holy grail” of battery tech on the market?

Less than a year after its initial reveal, Hyundai officially launched its off-road-friendly IONIQ 5 XRT variant in the US and invited us to Palm Springs to test it out. This is a Hyundai IONIQ through and through, but it features some unique design upgrades, including a new drive mode to help it tackle tougher terrain than its siblings.

As we get ready to exit month two of 2025, the opportunities to test drive model-year BEVs are starting to arise. The most recent was a trip to Palm Springs, California, to test out the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5. This flagship BEV saw a mid- refresh for 2025, so I didn’t experience the most drastic of changes compared to previous versions. In the places where Hyundai did improve the IONIQ 5, however, I noticed savvy upgrades that took customer feedback into consideration and made an already high-quality BEV even better.

In a rollercoaster turn of events, Hyundai and Kia EVs are expected to again qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit. With new models rolling out this year, the Korean auto giants expect another big year in the US in 2025.

Hyundai just launched its first flagship EV, the IONIQ 9, in South Korea. The IONIQ 9 is the largest Hyundai electric SUV with “best-in-class” interior space and features more driving range than any other EV in its lineup. For those of you in the US, get ready. You’re up next.

Hyundai is set to shake up the EV market with advanced new batteries soon. In March, Hyundai will reveal its all-solid-state EV battery pilot line to the public for the first time. The “Dream” batteries promise to unlock more range, faster charging, and significantly higher energy density.

Hyundai introduced significant discounts on its top-selling EVs, including the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and Kona Electric, in South Korea to overcome slumping sales. With government incentives, the IONIQ 5 now starts at just over $30,500 in Hyundai’s home market. Although demand remains strong in the US, Hyundai is still offering big savings opportunities.

Several automakers, including Honda, Hyundai, Ford, and Kia, reported higher EV sales in the US in January. Here’s a look at some of the top-selling EV models (outside of Tesla) last month.

Hyundai’s first three-row electric SUV is officially on the market. On Monday, Hyundai opened IONIQ 9 pre-orders in South Korea, starting at around $41,000 with incentives. The flagship electric SUV can seat six people and has a driving range of up to 330 miles.

Despite its small size, Hyundai expects big things from its new low-cost electric SUV. Starting at around $25,000, the Inster EV will be Hyundai’s main growth driver, as it plans to double electric car sales in Europe this year. Hyundai will also launch its first three-row electric SUV, the IONIQ 9.

Hyundai and Kia have invested in WeaveGrid, a software company that enables rapid EV adoption on the grid, following Toyota’s earlier backing.

HD Hyundai is set to unveil a production version of its hydrogen fuel cell powered HW155H 14-ton wheeled excavator – one of ten updated or all-new machines rumored to making their debut at this year’s Bauma construction trade show.

Two of the top-selling EV brands in the US are teaming up to overcome an uncertain market in 2025. Hyundai confirmed on Thursday that it’s nearing a deal with GM that would include re-badging EV models. Here’s what to expect.
