Design & Looks
The spy shots show a compact, five‑door crossover with a short wheelbase similar to the petrol‑powered Punch. Front fascia carries Hyundai’s new ‘parametric pixel’ lights, while the rear gets a modest spoiler and a subtle diffuser. The SUV appears to have a high roofline, giving extra headroom for rear passengers – a practical touch for Indian families.
Performance & Mileage
While Hyundai hasn’t released full specs, industry insiders suggest a modest 150 kW (200 hp) electric motor paired with a 30 kWh lithium‑ion pack. That size should deliver around 250 km (WLTP) on a single charge, enough for city commutes and short weekend trips. Fast‑charging is expected to top up the battery to 80 % in about 45 minutes.
Price & Rivals
Hyundai is likely to price the new electric SUV between ₹9.5 lakh and ₹12 lakh (ex‑showroom), positioning it against the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra eKUV100. The local production should keep costs down, helping the brand compete on price while offering a fresh design.
