Hyundai, besides concept models, presented at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show three production zero-emission models:
- 2nd model evolution Hyundai IONIQ Electric (see more here)
- 2020 Hyundai Kona Electric
- hydrogen fuel cell Hyundai NEXO
Here we take a quick walkthrough of each model, starting with an outstanding presentation of the Hyundai IONIQ Electric - both of the exterior and interior - by SDA Dan Cars (see review above).
As we can see, the new IONIQ after a facelift - with new LED lights, new front design and many small tweaks - is noticeably more attractive. The most important technical improvement is more range - 311 km (193 miles) (WLTP).
