FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., April 20, 2017 – Just prior to Earth Day 2017, Hyundai Motor America launched its new “Ioniq Unlimited+” electric vehicle subscription program for California residents. This innovative program offers a carefree way to drive Hyundai’s newest zero-emission, eco-focused vehicle; the 2017 Ioniq Electric.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., April 11, 2017 — The road to efficient, eco-conscious performance starts with the Hyundai Ioniq. The world's first dedicated vehicle with three electrified low- and zero-emission powertrain choices, the Ioniq Hybrid boasts an EPA-estimated 58 MPG (combined), making it the most efficient vehicle in the U.S. market without a plug. Even the interior is constructed with the environment in mind, crafted from renewable materials such as bio-fabrics and recycled plastics.

Hyundai is looking to a new generation of car buyers as it rolls out a trio of powertrains under the same eco-friendly banner.

 

That vehicle, the Ioniq, was on display Friday during a press event at the company’s Hyundai America Technical Center headquarters in Washtenaw County’s Superior Township.The Ioniq comes in three flavors of electric – hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full electric – and the company is touting the car’s green credentials, which it expects to appeal to changing generational tastes.

For the first time in the last ten years, a mid-sized vehicle has achieved the top spot in the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy's "Greenest Cars" list. The mid-sized Hyundai Ioniq topped the list with a highest ever green score of 64, followed closely by the BMW i3 in a list dominated by electric vehicles.

High Wycombe, 17 March 2017 – Hyundai Motor has been named Green Manufacturer of the Year and producer of the Best Plug in Car (0g/km), highlighting the brand and its model range as the stand-out environmentally-friendly option for fleet operators. The prestigious awards from leading business automotive title Fleet News recognises Hyundai Motor’s commitment to eco-friendly practices that enhance the lives of its customers while providing cost-effective motoring options to fleet operators.

If you're familiar with Hyundai you already know the automaker's modus operandi: offer a similar (or superior) product at a lower price than the competition. The company has always been a price leader, though when it entered the U.S. market 30 years ago it quickly gained a "you get what you pay for" reputation. Throughout the 1990s I was as skeptical as anyone regarding Hyundai's quality. Then I drove a 2000 Elantra for a year as part of a long-term test.
