New York<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 Hundai Motor Company\u2019s first electric vehicle, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, pulled a hat trick at the 2022 World Car Awards, bringing home trophies for World Design, Electric\u00a0and overall Car of the Year awards.<\/p>\n

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul kicked off the awards, promising that New York state will soon follow global economies in eliminating the internal combustion engine. \u201cThe assault on this planet will finally stop,\u201d she said from Javits Convention Center on New York City\u2019s west side. \u201cIn 2035, all new cars sold in New York will be electric.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ioniq 5 has won praise for its innovative packaging as well as its sharp, sci-fi styling. The compact crossover with a longer wheelbase than Hyundai\u2019s three-row Palisade SUV features a range of up to 303 miles on a full charge. With its big battery located below the passenger compartment, the Ioniq 5 opens up vast interior space for leg and cargo room.<\/p>\n

In a nod to affordability \u2014 and to the embattled gas engine \u2014 the wee Toyota Yaris Cross (which is not sold in the U.S.) won for World Urban Car.<\/p>\n
