When does Hyundai release 2023 models
|
The latest changes at Hyundai for the 2023 model year serves as a microcosm of the automotive industry as a whole. The brand with the best warranty in the business continues to ramp up its Ioniq series of electric vehicles, with the 2024 Ioniq 6 sedan following the launch of the winning 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric crossover.

In the meantime, for 2023, Hyundai discontinued the last iteration of the Veloster hatchback, with N variants rolling out in more popular models such as the Elantra compact and Kona small crossover. The Ioniq plug-in hybrid and traditional hybrid that helped launch the electric vehicle subbrand have also ceased production, and Hyundai will shelve its smallest car, the Accent. Modest tech upgrades permeate the rest of the lineup of crossover SUVs and sedans, but there's still no wireless smartphone connectivity with the larger touchscreens. Maybe next year. Refreshed2023 Hyundai Palisade - Three-row SUV carries a new grille, bumpers, headlights, and running lights, and on the inside it sports a new steering wheel design, instrument panel, and gauge cluster.

Hyundai tweaks its sedans as the arrival of the electric Ioniq 6 looms. Big changes are underway at Hyundai. The South Korean automaker is retooling its lineup of cars as it continues to develop the Ioniq EV subbrand, which started with the Ioniq hybrid and fully electric hatchback for the 2017 model year. Three entire product lines are being discontinued ahead of Hyundai's electric car expansion, but not every
car is in peril. As some cars get the axe, popular models like the Elantra and Sonata receive some new features for the 2023 model year. Keep reading to see which Hyundai cars will carry over with updates, which ones will be added to the lineup, and which ones are being discontinued. Hyundai continued its investment in cars over the last two
decades, but the brand's focus shifts a little for 2023. The subcompact Accent sedan, compact Veloster N hot hatch, and Ioniq hybrid and EV hatchbacks will no longer be offered. This means the subcompact Venue crossover now serves as the overall entry point for the Hyundai brand, and the Elantra is now the most affordable non-SUV offered. Although we're disappointed by the discontinuation of the bonkers Veloster N, the
Kona N does an admirable job serving as a replacement. 2023 Hyundai Elantra: What’s NewWith the subcompact Accent gone, the Hyundai Elantra is now the entry-level model within the brand's car lineup. The compact sedan receives slight changes to keep it fresh following its redesign for 2021. SEL models with the Convenience package now get 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10.3-inch touchscreen display, and built-in navigation. The N Line trim loses its available manual transmission but gains a 10.3-inch infotainment display with built-in navigation. Additionally, Elantra models with the base 2.0-liter engine are no longer available with the SEL Premium package. 2023 Hyundai Elantra: Pros and ConsPros

2023 Hyundai Sonata: What’s NewThe midsize Hyundai Sonata sedan carries over into 2023 with minor changes for gas and hybrid variants. Sonata SEL trims with all drivetrains receive a new 10.3-inch infotainment display with navigation and voice control capability. Highway driving assist is no longer available on the SEL Plus trim; it's now only offered on the Sonata Limited. Hybrid models now have a panoramic sunroof rather than the solar roof that was equipped on the previous model year. 2023 Hyundai Sonata: Pros and ConsPros

2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6: What’s NewWhile some of Hyundai's cars are being phased out for 2023, a new model is slated to arrive for the 2024 model year. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is the next installment in the brand's lineup of EVs. This swoopy sedan will likely be equipped with the same electric motors and battery pack options as the Ioniq 5. That means its base drivetrain will probably consist of a single motor driving the rear wheels. Output should be 225 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, and the base battery pack should be a 58-kWh unit. We expect a larger 77.4-kWh battery to also be available. Dual-motor variants, which should be equipped with the bigger battery pack, are expected to produce a total of 320 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque. The Ioniq 6 will feature a cabin that relies heavily on displays and capacitive touch controls. The interior looks spacious and futuristic, with a 12.0-inch touchscreen infotainment display dominating the dashboard. Another 12.0-inch display serves as the fully digital instrument cluster. Hyundai says the Ioniq 6 will use eco-friendly materials in its cabin such as recycled plastics, recycled fishing net carpets, and leather dyed with flaxseed oil. Variable ambient lighting will add customization to the cabin's look and feel. We expect the Ioniq 6 to be priced to undercut the Tesla Model 3 at under $48,000. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: Pros and ConsPros
