Breaking News | Beijing Hyundai's ELEXIO Makes Its Global Debut, Expected to Be Launched in the Third Quarter of This Year

Recently, the Beijing Hyundai Brand Strategy Communication Conference and the global premiere of its first pure-electric platform SUV were held in Shanghai. This event not only unveiled Beijing Hyundai's strategy of "In China, for China, to the world" but also comprehensively showcased the latest achievements of Beijing Hyundai in the fields of electrification and intelligence.

Among them, the most eye-catching product is Beijing Hyundai's first pure-electric platform SUV, ELEXIO. This vehicle is Beijing Hyundai's first strategic model in the new energy era and is expected to be launched in the third quarter of this year.

ELEXIO

In terms of appearance, the design of ELEXIO highly conforms to the current popular aesthetics of the Chinese market. Whether it is the design of the front through-light, the square daytime running lights, or the overall styling, it can be seen that Beijing Hyundai is determined to gain a share in the Chinese new energy market.

Coupled with the design of shortening the front overhang and increasing the wheelbase, combined with the fender shape and the configuration of 20-inch wheels, ELEXIO has a very "magnificent" appearance. It not only conforms to the current mainstream design language of mid - to large - sized SUVs in the Chinese market but also has some unique details.

Inside the vehicle, similar to most new energy vehicles, the physical buttons on the dashboard of ELEXIO have been removed, and a more modern and intelligent interface style has been introduced. Paired with modern - looking seats and a wraparound design, it greatly enhances the sense of openness in the vehicle interior.

ELEXIO

In terms of battery design, it is reported that ELEXIO reserves sufficient safety space for the battery by increasing the vehicle body size to ensure that it can be properly protected in the event of a side collision.

Moreover, the vehicle body chassis uses a battery protection platform with an 8 - horizontal and 7 - vertical grid structure. This vehicle not only meets the collision standards of the Chinese market but also has passed the most stringent collision safety test in Australia.

On the basis of safety, the overall cruising range of ELEXIO can reach 700 kilometers. It can quickly charge the battery from 30% to 80% in 27 minutes, and it can achieve a 100% charging success rate with more than 99% of domestic charging operators.

As a pure - electric vehicle, intelligence is also an essential function. ELEXIO is the first model in Hyundai's lineup to be equipped with a new - concept driving information display and is also equipped with a Qualcomm SA8295P high - performance CPU.

According to the press conference, this new vehicle uses the latest voice recognition technology and large language model (LLM) solutions, allowing users to control various services through voice commands.

At the same time, the mobile phone can be seamlessly connected to the vehicle. When navigating, users can instantly obtain real - time information from platforms such as Dianping, Baidu Hao, Xiaohongshu, and Mafengwo, and can also watch Douyin videos related to the surrounding locations.

In terms of intelligent driving, ELEXIO is equipped with the "Haomo Zhixing" combined assisted driving system. In 2025, ELEXIO will be the first to upgrade the combined assisted driving function and the memory parking function. By 2026, ELEXIO will launch the L2+ - level urban combined assisted driving function.

As a new vehicle built on Hyundai's global dedicated electric vehicle platform (E - GMP), the body dynamics and handling performance of ELEXIO can withstand market tests. Coupled with the complete intelligent cabin, intelligent driving, and safer battery configurations, the launch of ELEXIO is a crucial step in Beijing Hyundai's new energy transformation.
