A year after Ioniq was founded, the first model, the Ioniq Hybrid, debuted. In 2017, this model was joined by two more variants – the Ioniq Electric and the Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid. The brand continues to expand the range of vehicles on offer, with the Ioniq 5 crossover being introduced in 2021.

With its commitment to green transportation solutions, the Ioniq could become a significant force in the emerging electric mobility landscape.
Meaning and History
2016 – 2020
2020 – today
Hyundai’s Ioniq electric cars have their own logo. The name of the range, originally formed from the words “ion” and “unique,” is written in capital-light blue letters. Light blue is usually associated with fresh ideas, reliability, progress, and innovation. All glyphs look standard except for the letter “Q,” which resembles a ring with a hole and has a small protruding square. This element is also a symbol of creativity and innovation.
The unique design of the letter “Q” emphasizes the innovativeness of the Ioniq brand and distinguishes it from other model ranges. The light blue color emphasizes the car’s eco-friendliness and resonates with audiences looking for a combination of modernity and reliability in electric vehicles.
