Performance Variants Detailed
The newly introduced electric hatchback arrives in the European market, built upon Hyundai's robust E-GMP 400-volt architecture and equipped with a single
front-mounted motor. For those opting for the Standard Range model, expect up to 147 horsepower derived from a 42.2kWh battery, delivering a travel capability of approximately 343 kilometers on the WLTP cycle. The Long Range version, while producing a slightly lower 135 horsepower, boasts a more substantial 61kWh battery, enabling it to cover an impressive distance of up to 496 kilometers. While it accelerates to 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds, both configurations share an identical torque output of 250Nm and are electronically capped at a maximum speed of roughly 169 km/h, ensuring a balanced performance across the lineup.
Sporty Aesthetics and Compact Footprint
This electric vehicle embodies Hyundai's fresh 'Art of Steel' design philosophy, a style recently showcased on the brand's Boulder concept. Its aerodynamic profile achieves a drag coefficient of 0.263, contributing to its efficiency. Measuring just 163.6 inches in length, it presents a more compact form factor compared to larger luxury crossovers, such as the Genesis GV60, by over a foot. This agile sizing makes it a nimble option for urban environments while still offering a distinct and visually appealing exterior.
Advanced Interior Technology
The cabin experience within this electric hatchback is equally noteworthy, featuring Hyundai's Pleos Connect Infotainment system. This advanced system operates on the Android Automotive OS, providing a seamless and intuitive user interface. Depending on the specific trim level chosen, drivers can interact with either a vibrant 12.9-inch display or a more expansive 14.6-inch screen. These large, responsive touchscreens serve as the central hub for navigation, media, and vehicle controls, enhancing the overall driving experience with modern connectivity and smart features.
