Futuristic Aero Design
This new electric hatchback makes its debut with Hyundai's fresh 'Art of Steel' design philosophy, presenting a sleek and forward-thinking aesthetic. It
features a streamlined front end, distinctive pixel-like lighting elements, and a body shape optimized for aerodynamics, earning it the 'Aero Hatch' designation. This design not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to its efficiency by achieving a low drag coefficient of 0.263. Despite its compact external dimensions, clever engineering, including a long roofline and a flat internal floor, ensures a surprisingly spacious and comfortable cabin, maximizing passenger and cargo room within its modest footprint.
Power & Extended Range
Built upon Hyundai's robust E-GMP electric vehicle architecture, this new model offers drivers a choice between two distinct battery configurations. The standard version is equipped with a 42.2 kWh battery pack, delivering a WLTP-certified driving range of up to 344 km on a single charge. For those requiring extended journeys, a long-range variant is available, featuring a more substantial 61 kWh battery that pushes the potential range to an impressive 496 km. Propulsion comes from a single electric motor positioned at the front, delivering 147 hp for the standard model and 135 hp for the long-range option. Both configurations provide a consistent 250 Nm of torque and can reach a top speed of 170 km/h. A significant advantage is its rapid charging capability, allowing the battery to be replenished from 10% to 80% in approximately 29 minutes under ideal charging conditions.
Spacious & Connected Interior
The interior of this electric hatchback is meticulously crafted to prioritize space and passenger comfort, adopting a 'Furnished Space' concept. This approach ensures ample legroom and headroom for all occupants, making even longer journeys enjoyable. Practicality is further enhanced by a generous 441-litre boot capacity, complemented by an ingenious 'Megabox' storage compartment for additional items. Notably, this model is the first in the European market to integrate the new Pleos Connect infotainment system, which operates on Android Automotive OS. Depending on the specific trim level, drivers can interact with either a 12.9-inch or a larger 14.6-inch central display. The cabin is further enhanced with premium amenities such as an optional Bose sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, customizable ambient lighting, and the convenience of digital key functionality for keyless access and operation.
Advanced Safety Suite
Prioritizing occupant safety, the new electric hatchback is equipped with a comprehensive suite of Hyundai SmartSense advanced driver assistance systems. These intelligent features are designed to enhance awareness and prevent potential hazards, making driving more secure. Key technologies include Highway Driving Assist 2, which helps maintain speed and distance on motorways, and Blind-Spot View Monitor, offering visual alerts of vehicles in blind spots. Additionally, the Remote Smart Parking Assist provides a hands-free parking solution. Beyond these advanced systems, the vehicle incorporates multiple strategically placed airbags for comprehensive protection and advanced lighting technologies to improve visibility in various driving conditions, ensuring peace of mind for all occupants.
European Urban Focus
Designed and engineered with the European market firmly in mind, this electric hatchback is specifically tailored for the needs of urban dwellers and smaller families. Its development focuses on delivering a practical, efficient, and user-friendly electric mobility solution for daily commuting and city driving. The combination of its competitive driving range, attractive feature set, and overall usability positions it as a crucial element in the brand's ongoing strategy to expand its electric vehicle offerings. It aims to provide an accessible entry point into electric car ownership without compromising on essential aspects like space, technology, and driving convenience, making it a compelling choice for eco-conscious consumers in urban environments.
