Hyundai's plug-in lineup in the U.S. currently consists of three models, the all-electric Kona Electric and IONIQ Electric, as well as the plug-in hybrid IONIQ Plug-In. The plug-in hybrid Hyundai Sonata is no longer available and will not get a new generation.

Let's take a look at the 2021 model year versions of the Hyundai lineup. In terms of prices, all three seem to get a $200 MSRP bump, and the destination charge for the IONIQ increased as well a little bit, to $1,005 (for Kona it's still $1,175).

The South Korean manufacturer said that the 2021 Kona Electric will "carryover with no changes," but the IONIQs are getting minor changes:

  • Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
  • new Amazon Gray color (replacing Summit Gray)
