Embracing seamless travel with car features that put customers first

Unlike alternative modes of transportation, cars provide unparalleled freedom, allowing drivers and passengers to explore far-off destinations. Naturally, as the distance covered increases, so does the time spent within the confines of the car. Hyundai models come equipped with an array of features designed to enhance occupant comfort.

Factor in the challenges of traffic jams and the uncertainty of navigating unfamiliar routes, and these situations can heighten the stress behind the wheel. Fortunately, Hyundai has developed a range of car features specifically crafted to ensure that every trip is as stress-free as possible.

Route planning

Seamlessly blending innovation and convenience, the Hyundai EV Route Planner and Bluelink® Connectivity make travelling in an electric car a lot more convenient.

The EV Route Planner ensures a smooth and efficient journey by providing real-time information on charging stations along the way. This intelligent system automatically recommends up to four charging stops – prioritising high-speed chargers – during the journey while considering factors such as battery consumption, traffic conditions, road type, terrain, weather, and wishes for last-minute detours. Not only is the charging time calculated into the estimated time of arrival, but the state of charge (SOC) level is also forecasted at charging stops and the destination. This results in an enhanced sense of confidence and control in the electric car driving experience as the driver can embark on long-distance trips without range anxiety.

Complementing the EV Route Planner, Hyundai’s Bluelink® Connectivity adds an extra layer of comfort and convenience. Through the Bluelink® app, the driver can remotely monitor and control various aspects of the car, from preconditioning the cabin temperature to checking the charging status. This level of connectivity ensures that the car is ready to go, even before the journey begins. Additionally, Bluelink® allows the driver to find petrol and charging stations, plan routes, and locate points of interest.

Smooth charging experience

Hyundai has partnered with Digital Charging Solutions (DCS) to offer Charge myHyundai – and thus access to more than 670,000 charging points across 30 European countries, including to IONITY’s high-power charging network. Charge myHyundai integrates green energy into its service. For each transaction, DCS will feed an equivalent amount of energy back to the electrical grid in the form of green energy. Additionally, IONITY only works with energy providers that exclusively generate electricity from wind, water, sun, and biomass.

With the network’s growing number of especially high-power chargers, Charge myHyundai continues to alleviate range anxiety and shorten charging times. With the use of a single RFID card or the Charge myHyundai app, customers receive just one monthly invoice for all charging sessions.

Super-fast charging

To enhance long drives in electric cars, Hyundai has developed services like Plug & Charge for a growing number of models and offers impressive 800V high-speed charging for its IONIQ range. Plug & Charge simplifies the charging process by eliminating the need for separate authentication steps via charging cards or charging apps. When a Plug & Charge-enabled electric car connects to a compatible charging station, the system automatically handles the authentication process. This seamless integration not only saves time but also adds a layer of convenience. By removing unnecessary complexities, Plug & Charge transforms the charging experience, making it more user-friendly and accessible. Initially launched with IONIQ 6, Kona Electric and IONIQ 5 N are also Plug & Charge capable.

In tandem with Plug & Charge, 800V high-speed charging represents a significant leap forward in charging efficiency. This technology allows for ultra-fast charging, significantly reducing the time required to replenish the battery during extended journeys. For example, IONIQ 6 can charge from 10 to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes. With 800V high-speed charging, Hyundai’s electric cars can achieve a substantial charge in a short amount of time, ensuring that the driver can take breaks without experiencing lengthy delays. This remarkable capability not only enhances the convenience of long-distance travel but also contributes to the overall comfort and ease of electric car ownership.

Seamless smartphone connectivity

For a more entertaining ride, Hyundai has incorporated wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay in its latest models, such as Kona and IONIQ 5 N. These connectivity features allow the driver to seamlessly connect an Android or Apple smartphone to the car’s infotainment system without the need for a physical cable. This wireless connectivity is a game-changer for road trips, providing easy access to navigation, music, and other apps directly on the car’s display. Without the hassle of tangled cords, the driver can stay focused on the road while enjoying the smartphone’s full functionality. This not only enhances safety but also contributes to the comfort and convenience of the journey.

Adding to the convenience, Hyundai’s integration of Amazon Music into its models, starting with Kona, elevates in-car entertainment. With Amazon Music, the driver and passengers have access to a vast library of songs and playlists, catering to diverse tastes. The seamless integration of Amazon Music into the car’s infotainment system ensures a smooth and enjoyable listening experience without the need for additional devices. Whether it’s exploring new music or enjoying familiar favourites, the availability of Amazon Music in Hyundai models enhances the overall ambience, making journeys more pleasurable and reducing the monotony of extended drives.

Stress-free driving

Hyundai Smart Sense, the company’s advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), takes the stress out of driving, exemplified by features such as Highway Driving Assist (HDA) 2.0 and Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC).

HDA 2.0 is a sophisticated system that combines the capabilities of lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control, offering a semi-autonomous driving experience on motorways. Using advanced sensors and cameras, HDA 2.0 assists the driver by automatically adjusting the car’s speed and steering within the lane, providing a smoother and more relaxing drive. This not only reduces driver fatigue during long-distance trips but also enhances safety by helping maintain a safe following distance and centred positioning within the lane.

Together, HDA 2.0 and NSCC form a comprehensive suite of features that make extended journeys more convenient. NSCC adds an extra layer of intelligence. By leveraging navigation data, the system proactively adjusts the car’s speed based on upcoming road conditions, such as curves, junctions, and speed limits. This predictive element ensures that the cruise control operates more efficiently, optimising fuel efficiency and creating a more comfortable ride.
