Hyundai enters 2026 as the sixth best-selling manufacturer in the UK, backed by more than 93,100 vehicles sold in 2025 and a rapidly growing electric and hybrid range. At Vertu, our colleagues can talk you through that full range today, from compact city cars to the seven-seat IONIQ 9, and help you find the right new Hyundai for your budget and daily drive.
That standing didn't happen overnight. Hyundai has sold cars in the UK since 1982 from its headquarters in Leatherhead, Surrey, and Hyundai Motor Company itself dates back to 1967. 2025 carried that momentum further still, with a 4.6% market share and TUCSON as Hyundai's best-selling model.
Alternative fuel vehicles - hybrids, plug-in hybrids and full electric cars - made up 58% of everything Hyundai sold in the UK during 2025. Electric vehicle sales alone grew by more than 10%, led by the KONA Electric and INSTER. That range spans thirteen models at Vertu, and it's about to grow again with the all-new IONIQ 3 due in the UK within months.
It covers every powertrain on the market too: petrol, self-charging hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicle. Whichever you choose, the same Hyundai warranty follows you home: five years, unlimited mileage, backed by five years of annual vehicle health checks and Hyundai roadside assistance. Choose an electric or hybrid vehicle and Hyundai adds a further eight years or 100,000 miles of cover on the high-voltage battery.
Hyundai sums all of this up as Progress for Humanity, a Korean automotive brand's shorthand for building cars, and increasingly clean-energy technology, meant to serve everyone.
Hyundai's UK range splits naturally into three groups: small Hyundai cars built for the city, family SUVs built for space, and the all-electric IONIQ range built to lead.
The i10, i20, BAYON and INSTER share Hyundai SmartSense driver assistance, including forward collision avoidance and lane-keeping support, fitted as standard across every trim. The i20 and BAYON both pair a 90PS turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol engine with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, so neither feels stripped-back despite the compact footprint.
Step up to the INSTER, Hyundai's smallest electric car, and the choice widens. A 42kWh or 49kWh battery delivers up to 229 miles of WLTP electric range, with rapid DC charging capable of a 10-80% top-up in around 30 minutes. On the 02 and Cross trims, the rear seats even slide 16cm to trade boot space for legroom.
The new Hyundai SUV range is led by the TUCSON, Hyundai's best-selling model, offered across five trims and three powertrains. That's 150PS petrol, 239PS self-charging hybrid, and 252PS plug-in hybrid with up to 43.5 miles of electric range. The Hyundai PHEV is also available as a Hyundai 4x4, with four-wheel drive fitted from N-Line Edition upward.
The KONA covers similar ground in a smaller footprint, its fully electric version offering up to 319 miles of WLTP range and 150kW rapid charging. The SANTA FE tops the family range with seven seats as standard, its self-charging hybrid producing 239PS combined, and its plug-in hybrid variant returning 33.6 miles of electric range with CO2 emissions of just 36g/km.
IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 are both official World Car of the Year winners. The family already spans five distinct cars: the practical IONIQ 5, the aerodynamic IONIQ 6, and the seven-seat IONIQ 9, which offers up to 385 miles of WLTP range. Then there's the high-performance pairing of IONIQ 5 N and IONIQ 6 N, each capable of up to 650PS with N Grin Boost engaged.
Every IONIQ model supports rapid DC charging at up to 350kW, enough to add real range in the time it takes to grab a coffee. A sixth IONIQ is already on its way, too: the all-new IONIQ 3, due in the UK within months, though full UK specification hasn't been published yet.
Choosing between Hyundai's electrified options comes down to how you drive day to day. The table below breaks down how each works and who it suits best.
| Powertrain | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Self-Charging Hybrid | Never needs plugging in. The battery recharges through regenerative braking alone, and the petrol engine and electric motor share the work automatically. Fitted across the KONA, TUCSON and SANTA FE hybrid SUV line-up. | Drivers who want hybrid efficiency without ever plugging in |
| Plug-in Hybrid | Adds a larger battery, charged at home or at a public point, unlocking pure-electric driving for the school run or commute while keeping a full tank in reserve for longer trips. TUCSON offers up to 43.5 miles of electric range, SANTA FE up to 33.6 miles. | Commuters wanting electric-only short trips with petrol back-up for longer journeys |
| Battery Electric | Runs on stored charge alone across the INSTER, KONA Electric and full IONIQ range, soon joined by the IONIQ 3. Produces zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving and needs no engine to service. | Drivers ready to go fully electric with home or public charging access |
Alternative fuel vehicles, that combined hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric total, made up 58% of everything Hyundai sold in the UK during 2025, so whichever route into electrification you choose, you're driving in good company.
Every current Hyundai model puts connected technology and driver assistance within easy reach, regardless of size or price. Hyundai SmartSense, the brand's driver assistance suite, comes fitted as standard across the range. It typically includes autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and blind spot monitoring, with more advanced variants adding surround view cameras and remote parking assistance on higher trims.
Bluelink connected car services bring live traffic updates, remote vehicle status and over-the-air updates to most models, so your Hyundai's infotainment stays current without a workshop visit. Screen sizes have grown across the board too. The i20 and BAYON pair a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. The KONA, TUCSON, SANTA FE and IONIQ range all move up to dual 12.3-inch displays or larger, giving the digital cockpit a genuinely premium feel.
Higher trims across the SUV and IONIQ ranges add a head-up display, ventilated seats and premium sound systems from KRELL or BOSE. IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 both offer Vehicle-to-Load, letting the car's battery power tools, camping equipment or a laptop directly.

Hyundai vehicles are made by Hyundai Motor Company, a Korean automotive brand founded in 1967. Hyundai has sold cars in the UK since 1982, with its UK headquarters based in Leatherhead, Surrey, and its European models engineered, tested and built primarily at production plants in the Czech Republic and Turkey.
More than 70% of Hyundai models sold across Europe come from these two European plants, built specifically to meet European road and safety standards rather than shipped over unchanged.
Hyundai designs and builds its own engines and electric motors in-house, including the Smartstream petrol engines and permanent magnet synchronous motors that power the current TUCSON, KONA, SANTA FE and IONIQ ranges. This in-house engineering extends to Hyundai's hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems, which pair a Smartstream engine with an electric motor of Hyundai's own design.
The TUCSON Hybrid, for example, combines a 1.6-litre Smartstream turbo petrol engine with a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor producing 64.9PS, for a combined system output of 239PS.
Reliability on a new Hyundai is backed by the numbers Hyundai itself stands behind. Every new car comes with a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty, five years of annual vehicle health checks and Hyundai roadside assistance, with a further eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty on electric and hybrid batteries.
That warranty length and the unlimited mileage allowance remain some of the strongest offered by any mainstream manufacturer selling in the UK. IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 have each been named World Car of the Year, external recognition that reflects the engineering behind the range.
Hyundai cars sold in the UK are built across Hyundai's global manufacturing network. The majority of models sold in Europe, including the UK, are engineered, tested and built at the company's production plants in the Czech Republic and Turkey. More than 70% of Hyundai vehicles sold across Europe come from these two European plants.
Hyundai Motor Europe HQ, based in Offenbach, Germany, oversees this production and sales network across 47 European countries.
Every new Hyundai vehicle sold in the UK comes with a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, five years of annual vehicle health checks, and Hyundai roadside assistance, all included as standard. Electric and hybrid models add a further eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty specifically covering the high-voltage battery.
Unlimited mileage cover is the detail that sets it apart from many rivals, which cap warranty cover at a set mileage regardless of how new the car remains.
Yes. Hyundai's fully electric cars range includes the INSTER, KONA Electric, IONIQ 5, IONIQ 5 N, IONIQ 6, IONIQ 6 N and the seven-seat IONIQ 9. WLTP ranges run from around 229 miles up to 385 miles depending on model and battery.
Alongside these electric vehicles, Hyundai's self-charging hybrid and plug-in hybrid models across the KONA, TUCSON and SANTA FE ranges give buyers a step into electrification without needing to plug in at all. A seventh all-electric model, the IONIQ 3, is due in the UK within months, ahead of a full UK specification announcement.
A Hyundai self-charging hybrid never needs plugging in, recharging its battery through regenerative braking alone. A Hyundai plug-in hybrid adds a larger battery you charge at home or at a public point, unlocking pure-electric driving for short trips while keeping petrol power in reserve for longer journeys.
Hyundai's stylised 'H' badge is designed to represent two people, a company representative and a customer, shaking hands, set inside an oval that reflects the brand's global reach. That handshake symbolism is meant to signal trust between Hyundai and the people who drive its cars.
The name 'Hyundai' itself translates from Korean as 'modernity', a nod to the brand's founding ambition when Hyundai Motor Company launched in 1967.
Yes. Hyundai sold more than 93,100 vehicles in the UK during 2025, holding a 4.6% market share and entering 2026 as the sixth best-selling car manufacturer in the country, up three positions on the year before. TUCSON was Hyundai's best-selling model over that period.
Alternative fuel vehicles, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric models, made up 58% of that total, reflecting how quickly UK buyers are moving toward Hyundai's electrified range.
