- Hyundai says it will launch 11 new electric models by 2030, including a model in a new vehicle segment that it doesn't currently compete in—we don't know which segment that is yet.
- Genesis will gain six new models by 2030: two passenger cars and four SUVs.
- Kia will sell 14 EVs by 2027 with plans for two electric pickup trucks, although not all of these new EVs from Hyundai and Kia are destined to reach the U.S. market.
Sales of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6—the first dedicated ground-up electric vehicles from the two Korean automakers—are underway, but the snazzy new models are just the beginning. This week, Hyundai and Kia announced updated plans for the coming decade, including a slew of electric vehicles in new market segments.
By 2030, Hyundai will launch 11 new EVs: three sedans, six SUVs, and a light commercial vehicle. Hyundai also says there will be "one new type model" but didn't go into specifics—this could be anything from an electric version of the Santa Cruz pickup to a tiny electric pod like the Renault Twizy. One of the sedans will be the Ioniq 6, which will take inspiration from the Prophecy concept and go on sale this year, while one of the SUVs will be the production version of the Ioniq 7 concept, reaching showrooms in 2024. These are presumably global plans, so the timing and model lineup for the U.S. is likely to be different.
Hyundai's luxury arm Genesis will add six new models in the next eight years—two "passenger cars," with Genesis not specifying that these will be sedans, and four SUVs. The first SUV will be the Electrified GV70 launching this year, and starting in 2025, every new Genesis will be electrified.
