JAKARTA - Hyundai will introduce 26 new models by fiscal year 2030. Of course, the number is quite interesting and worth waiting for.

Evidence of Hyundai's seriousness can already be seen in the current fiscal year, two new SUVs will be launched, one of which is a new compact electric SUV with the code name HE1i.

Most recently, citing the Rushlane website, Thursday, June 18, the test prototype has been seen several times, with the latest sighting reported from South Korea.

Hyundai's new subcompact electric SUV has a high and boxy aesthetic. The body profile of this vehicle looks similar to the Hyundai Inster EV sold in the global market. Although covered with thick camouflage, features such as LED DRL lights mounted at the top and separate headlights mounted lower above the bumper are clearly visible. This SUV is expected to have a straight front and EV-specific features such as a covered grille.

The body panel seems to have a simple flat design, which gives the impression of solidity on this SUV. The roof line and window line are almost parallel to the ground. Other highlights include black side mirrors, a flat roof, a functional roof rail, body cladding, and 17-inch sporty alloy wheels.

Meanwhile, at the back of Hyundai's new compact electric SUV, it is estimated that it will have a sloping windshield and a sturdy bumper design, as well as the shortest rear overhang. It is possible that pixel-style lighting elements can be installed at the front and rear.

Details of the SUV's interior have not been revealed. Given the highly competitive market it will enter, Hyundai's new electric SUV is likely to get a full suite of premium features.

Special EV features are likely to be offered, such as Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capabilities. Hyundai can offer a flexible interior layout, allowing users to accommodate a wide range of loads as needed. Safety equipment will be quite tough and will likely include ADAS Level 2.

Hyundai's new compact electric SUV is likely based on a modified version of the E-GMP (K) modular platform. This platform is also used on the Inster EV sold overseas. The powertrain configuration for this new electric SUV may be similar to the Inster EV, thus offering 42 kWh and 49 kWh battery packs capable of generating 300 km and 355 km, according to WLTP standards.
