Hyundai to Add EREV Powertrains to Pickup and SUV Lineup in 2027
WHY IT MATTERS
Hyundai’s 2027 EREV launch expands electrified choices in key truck and SUV segments, potentially reshaping consumer expectations and intensifying competition among automakers targeting electrified pickups and body‑on‑frame SUVs.
What happened
Hyundai announced that its 2027 model year will feature EREV (electric‑range‑extended vehicle) powertrains across its expanded hybrid lineup, including new pickup trucks and body‑on‑frame SUVs. The move follows the company’s broader strategy to electrify its vehicle range and meet tightening emissions regulations.
Hyundai’s plan will introduce plug‑in hybrid options that combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor, offering drivers longer electric‑only ranges and reduced fuel consumption.
The company will roll out these models in 2027, adding to its existing hybrid offerings and positioning it to compete more aggressively in the growing electrified truck and SUV markets.
