Hyundai Ioniq wins Green Good Design Award

The 2017 Hyundai Ioniq has received a Green Good Design Award.

The honour comes from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

The awards celebrate important examples of sustainable designs and provide awareness on what companies are designing and producing to make the most positive impact on the environment.

“Hyundai is committed to progressing the future of eco-friendly driving and the Ioniq is just the beginning,” Hyundai Design Centre chief designer Chris Chapman says. “The future-focused character of the Ioniq along with its innovative use of recycled and ecologically-sensitive materials has made Ioniq the most fuel-efficient vehicle and a leader in the environmentally-friendly vehicle space.”

This year, 100 designs were awarded Green Good Design Awards from 23 nations.
The Hyundai Ioniq was recognised among the world’s most advanced products, designs and projects representing leading companies that have an emphasis on sustainability.

The Ioniq is the first eco vehicle in the world to offer three distinct electrified powertrains on a single, dedicated vehicle platform – the Ioniq hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric models.

The Hyundai Ioniq is due to launch in Australia late this year or early in 2018.

Now in its eighth year, Green Good Design Award is a specialised edition of the original the Good Design programme.
