How it scores for you10 scores
Three real rows, 335 miles of range, and 5,000-lb towing make a legitimate electric family flagship - first-year status and EV depreciation are the gambles.
Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 1 of its 3 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -2 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $850 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 91% of cars we track.
Cargo volume isn't published for this car.
Three genuinely usable rows on a flat EV floor - among the roomiest electric family options yet.
Serene, heavy, and deliberate - a three-row EV tuned for calm; upper AWD trims are quick in a straight line.
Dual panoramic displays, 800V charging, native NACS port, and Hyundai's latest ADAS - a thoroughly current flagship EV cabin.
Long wheelbase, flat floor, and lounge-style seating options; early reviews consistently praise its hush.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
Rated to tow 5,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
