In terms of performance, the vehicle is built on Hyundai Motor Group's dedicated electric vehicle platform, E-GMP. The long-range model is equipped with a 61kWh battery, enabling a maximum range of 496km on a single charge under European WLTP standards. The standard model features a 42.2kWh battery, offering a range of 344km. The motor's maximum output is 99.5kW for the long-range model and 107.8kW for the standard model, with both models delivering a maximum torque of 250Nm.
Vehicle dimensions are 4,155mm in length, 1,800mm in width, and 1,505mm in height.
