#NextAwaits with Hyundai
“While other companies are still making promises about what will come, we have been delivering low- and zero-emission cars across Europe with several ground-breaking new models” states Hyundai Motor. In the context of their #NextAwaits Hyundai Progress Driving Experience I was invited to Amsterdam to test their brand new Models: The new IONIQ electric and the new KONA hybrid.

The 2-day happening was not only about electric transportation and Hyundai, but also about sustainability and environmental responsibility in general. Amsterdam, the city that is dedicated to remaining a frontrunner in electric transportation and that strives to ensure that as much traffic in the city as possible will be emission free by 2025 was therefore the perfect choice to hold this European-wide event. Everyone that has ever been to Amsterdam will be surprised by how many bikes and electric vehicles can be seen on the streets. The city definitely uses the right approach to future mobility and sustainability.

The first day was all about the presentation of the All-New Hyundai i10, the electric compact car that had its world premiere only days later at the IAA in Frankfurt. After the transportation to the “Muziekgebouw” by E-Boats, we were able to witness the new i10 generation with its dynamic design during a great evening show.


On the second day we could finally get behind the wheels. Both cars proved to be very smooth and quiet in running, very spacious in the interior, fast in charging and the perfect companion not only for the countryside, but also for the heart of the city. The comfortable driving experience was supported by the newest technological safety systems and the reduced or even zero emissions.

We spent the whole day driving the new KONA hybrid and the new IONIQ electric whilst enjoying Amsterdam and the countryside around the city. The weather was typical for the Netherlands, at the same time windy and sometimes raining, but also sunny and often warm. Luckily we took a rest at a beautiful photo spot when suddenly a wonderful rainbow appeared. As you can see, we used the situation to take some pictures of us and the car.
Thanks a lot for having me at this great event, Hyundai! I will surely think about switching to an electric or hybrid car for my daily business commute. Thanks everyone for reading and I hope you enjoy the pictures 😊
