Hyundai Electric Car News for 2023

Next year will come loaded with electrical innovations for Hyundai. The Korean firm, which is enjoying considerable success with models such as the Kona Electric or the IONIQ 5, will expand its zero-emissions range with the arrival of new and interesting proposals that will allow it to further strengthen its position in the European market.

Next spring, Hyundai will begin deliveries of the IONIQ 6, an aerodynamic sedan set to challenge the Tesla Model 3. This 4.86-meter-long sedan sits on the E-GMP platform, so it has an 800-volt system that allows it to charge at powers of 239 kW in direct current (10-80% in 18 minutes).

Available with two battery packs (53 and 77.4 kWh), the IONIQ 6 offers a range of 614 km WLTP, something that is possible thanks to its Cx of just 0.21. Of course, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions will be on the market; In addition, a high-performance N variant will be added later, which will be around 600 CV of power.

Everything indicates that next year we will also see the expected IONIQ 7, a large SUV with seven seats equivalent to the Palisade (4.98 meters long) that will also make use of the E-GMP platform. Although initially it will be sold in the United States, later it should also reach Europe. To exceed the 483 km EPA range, it will mount more capable batteries than the IONIQ 5 and 6.

The electric Hyundai Casper will start manufacturing in mid-2023

Another important novelty will be the second generation of the Kona Electric, which will grow to 4.36 meters in length and will adopt the design language of the Grandeur and Staria. At the mechanical level, no relevant changes are expected compared to the current model, since it will equip a 204 CV (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine associated with a 64.8 kWh pack. Its autonomy will be close to 500 km WLTP.

Hyundai Kona Electric

Hyundai’s big star for 2023, however, will be the electric version of the Casper, a tiny 12-foot-long crossover currently on sale in South Korea. This model, which boasts a highly modular interior and a 301-liter trunk, will begin manufacturing in the middle of next year.

Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, Hyundai’s marketing manager in Europe, confirmed at the time that his target price is 20,000 euros, making it one of the most affordable electric cars on the European market. BorgWarner will be in charge of supplying the propulsion train, which will integrate the permanent magnet electric motor, the inverter, and the power electronics in a single unit.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
