Electric vehicles and hybrids are trending and have been for a while. Many car manufacturers are adding them to brand lineups to give drivers more eco-friendly options. Hyundai followed suit in 2017 with the Ioniq and has been improving on it every year. While the 2020 Ioniq didn’t get any major upgrades, there are some notable changes. 

2020 Hyundai Ioniq

The 2020 Hyundai Ioniq is one of the more affordable electric cars. But this car isn’t just affordable, it is also one of the best electric vehicles on the market when you think about features and value. Drivers looking at the Prius but want a more traditional looking car should consider the Ioniq before making a purchase. This electric vehicle offers both style and value. 

2020 Hyundai Ioniq Specs

As with any electric vehicle, the power under the hood is not anything that is going to be able to race a traditional engine, however, the fuel economy is great at 58 MPG. That fuel economy is the best drivers will get from a car that doesn’t need to be plugged in. The engine and battery pack give the Ioniq a combined 139 hp from the 1.6-L inline-four cylinder engine. One of the best features is that the Hyundai Ioniq can jump-start itself. 

2020 Hyundai Ioniq Trims

The 2020 Hyundai Ioniq has four trim levels that give drivers more options to meet their needs and vehicle desires. The most popular trim level is actually the base level. It is called the Blue trim level and offers a combination of value and features. It has front-wheel drive and seven exterior colors to choose from. The Blue also is loaded with standard safety and convenience features. 

The other trim levels that go up from there are the SE, SEL, and Limited. There are added features for safety, comfort, and convenience such as internet access and speed-sensitive volume controls, among other features. Each trim level does build on the other however, the Blue trim level has so many features for the price point that it is by far the most popular trim level package. 

2020 Hyundai Ioniq Pricing

The pricing of the 2020 Hyundai Ioniq is competitive with other comparable vehicles such as the Toyota Prius but the Ioniq has a better combination of value and features as well as a better overall aesthetic look. The Blue trim level starts at a price of $23,200, making it an affordable and budget-friendly option. The price can increase with the addition of optional packages. 

The SE and SEL trim levels still offer value and keep the price point under $30,000. The SE trim level starts at $25,150 and the SEL starts at $28,400. Both have optional packages available. The Limited trim level is the highest price point starting at $31,200.

Hyundai is going camping. Or at least, they’re producing their first-ever RV to help you go camping. Say hello to the Hyundai Porest, which is set to hit showrooms and highways in the not-too-distant future.

Before we jump into the specifics, you’re probably asking yourself why? What’s the purpose of Hyundai joining the RV craze? Well, for starters, the market is booming right now. Between the pandemic and a revival of people’s desire to connect with the great outdoors, there’s never been a better time to hit the road and get in touch with nature.

Hyundai is jumping on the RV bandwagon with the Porest.

Hyundai Porest Design

The Porest is not your typical RV. In fact, it looks like an everyday RV’s little brother, measuring in at just over 18’ long and just under 7’ wide. It features a 2.5L diesel engine that offers a modest 133 horsepower, meaning you aren’t going to be tearing up the road in this compact camper. Then again, that’s generally not the intention with an RV.

Its relative size makes it easy to store and won’t prove too difficult for novice RV drivers. It can comfortably accommodate four adults, and offers enough storage space to haul everything you need for a cross-country excursion. Plus, it starts at only $42,000, which is a steal for a home that you can take onto the open road.

Hyundai Porest Features

Don’t worry — just because it’s smaller and cheaper than your average RV doesn’t mean it’s missing some of the essentials for on-the-road living. The Porest comes equipped with a retractable tent, good for providing shade once you’ve set up camp. It also features extended side mirrors to ensure you’re aware of your surroundings, and three separate sleeping areas so you and your passengers aren’t without somewhere to lie your heads.

One of those sleeping areas includes the slide-out section at the rear of the Porest, creating all of the comfort and space you need despite the RV’s compact build. It may not be a palace on wheels like some of the campers on the market today, but it gets the job done without costing an arm and a leg.

But wait, there’s more!

The Porest also offers a kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave and sink, as well as an optional bathroom. If you’re looking for a home on wheels without breaking the bank, then your search can end with the Hyundai Porest.

Given its humble bundle of amenities and small stature, the Porest certainly isn’t for everyone. While that may be the case, it’s an exciting development as more players enter the RV game. Hyundai’s newest offering will certainly make waves as more and more automakers attempt to cash in on a red-hot RV market.Of course, if you’re looking to travel the country in something slightly smaller than the Porest, maybe the 2021 Hyundai Palisade should be on your holiday wishlist.
