The Hyundai Ioniq arrived three years ago as the Korean automaker's answer to the Toyota Prius line. Now, Hyundai is updating the Ioniq, giving it a slightly flashier but still modest look. Hyundai announced the update specifically for Europe, although many of these changes will likely also come to the U.S. In these pictures, the Ioniq features a new grille with a mesh pattern instead of vertical slats. The headlights and side vents on the front fascia have also changed. Out back, Hyundai switched up the taillight signature. Inside the cabin, youll notice a new infotainment setup. The 10.25-inch screen, available as an option in Europe, gets over-the-air update capability. The current Ioniq sold here in the U.S. comes with a choice of a 7.0-inch or 8.0-inch screen. The European model features a Green-zone Drive Mode, which automatically tells the powertrain to use more energy from the electric motor in certain areas to preserve the environment. Standard safety features include front collision warning and avoidance and lane keep assist. Adjustable regenerative braking is also standard. All these changes apply to the new hybrid and plug-in hybrid Ioniqs, which arrive in Europe during the second half of this year. Hyundai will announce details on the updated Ioniq Electric at a later date. Weve reached out to Hyundai for more information on the Ioniq for the U.S., and will update this post as soon as we hear back.
