Hyundai has once again demonstrated the strength of its design-focused approach by earning high praise at the globally renowned iF Design Awards. With a commitment to future mobility solutions and continuous innovation, Hyundai has achieved this significant success thanks to its visionary designers and expert engineers. Design remains a key competitive advantage for the brand, influencing all of Hyundai’s models across global markets.
The 18 awards Hyundai received in 2025 highlight the breadth of design excellence across various domains, from automobiles to brand communications. Recognized across eight disciplines and 12 categories, these awards also acknowledge Hyundai’s progress in electrification and mobility.
Among the standout winners, the IONIQ 9, which Hyundai will soon launch in Turkey, was honored in the automobile category, alongside the hydrogen-powered INITIUM and PALISADE. Hyundai’s ACR fast-charging robot, home EV charger, and X-ble wearable robot developed by Robotics Lab also secured prestigious awards. Additionally, Hyundai’s digital and print media projects, as well as dealership tools like AD Creator, received high praise from the iF Design jury.
Meanwhile, Hyundai’s latest electric model, INSTER, has achieved another milestone by securing a top-three position in the 2025 World Car of the Year (WCOTY) awards. If INSTER claims the World Car of the Year title, it will become the fourth Hyundai model to do so, following in the footsteps of the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and IONIQ 5 N.
