What Hyundai makes

Hyundai is a South Korean car maker whose worldwide website presents its passenger cars, concept vehicles and software work for drivers in many countries. The site's brand journal covers the all-new TUCSON, shown through a world premiere article, along with the CRATER Concept, an all-electric off-road concept. Its range spans petrol, hybrid and electric cars.

Where it sells and how it connects its cars

Hyundai lists a global distributors section on its worldwide site, and it runs separate regional sites, including a UK site that publishes electric prices and offers. In April 2026 it held an IONIQ Brand Launch Event at Hyundai Motorstudio Beijing, where it described IONIQ in China as a wider mobility ecosystem built with local technologies and partners, using planet names for its Chinese line-up. Two concepts, VENUS and EARTH, were shown.

Software is a stated priority. Pleos Connect is the group's next-generation infotainment system, with a smartphone style interface, navigation, entertainment, vehicle settings and the Gleo AI assistant that answers natural speech. Hyundai says over-the-air updates let it send improvements to cars remotely, so owners need not visit a dealer. Pleos Connect first appeared on the AZERA, sold in Korea as the all-new GRANDEUR, with a wider rollout planned.

Its electric line-up

The UK site lists INSTER, IONIQ 3, IONIQ 5, IONIQ 5 N, IONIQ 6, IONIQ 6 N, IONIQ 9 and KONA Electric as battery-electric models. They run from the small INSTER, priced from 22,995 pounds, to the three-row IONIQ 9 with a 110.3 kWh battery. Hyundai also runs Bluelink connected services.
