Overview

  • Hyundai released official teaser images showing bold cues including a large ducktail-style rear spoiler and a thin LED light bar up front.
  • The concept will make its world debut on September 9 at IAA Mobility in Munich.
  • Reporting indicates the production car will be a Bayon-sized crossover positioned between the Inster and Kona Electric.
  • The model is expected to use the lower-cost, front‑wheel‑drive 400‑volt E‑GMP platform, with an AWD ‘N’ performance variant viewed as unlikely and an N Line trim anticipated.
  • It is set to be closely related to Kia’s upcoming EV2 and to share components with the EV3, with Europe-first sales expected around Q3 2026 and battery options projected near the 60 kWh class for roughly 200+ miles of real‑world range.
