Hyundai is spinning out Ioniq as a brand for electric cars, in the same way that it spun out Genesis as a standalone brand for luxury cars. It will launch three new battery electrics between 2021 and 2024.
The first of these will be called the Ioniq 5, a crossover based on the 45 concept car that was shown at the 2019 Frankfurt auto show.
