Hyundai and its luxury brand Genesis are set to introduce extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) with significantly longer driving ranges in 2027, marking a major step in their electric lineup expansion. These new models will combine battery-electric and hybrid powertrains to deliver improved efficiency and performance compared to conventional EVs. The move reflects automakers’ growing focus on bridging the gap between pure electric vehicles and traditional hybrids as consumer demand for versatile electrified options rises. Industry observers suggest this could influence competitors to accelerate their own plug-in and extended-range electric vehicle developments.
