The Hyundai Elexio, alternatively the Hyundai EO (Chinese: 现代羿欧; pinyin: Xiàndài Yìōu) in China, is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Hyundai through their Beijing Hyundai joint venture.
Overview
Development was led by Hyundai's R&D center in Shanghai. It was expected to launch in 2026[2] but the launch was rescheduled to late 2025. The model's original name (Elexio) was revealed on May 1st, 2025.[3] It is not available in the South Korean market where most Ioniq models are produced. The related sister-model Kia EV5 was offered instead.
The Elexio was officially unveiled on May 7th, 2025.[4]
The model has full-width light bars on both ends. The rear light bar has slight curvatures at the rear.[5]
A 27-inch HUD is expected to come with the Elexio. The infotainment system will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip. An advanced ADAS system developed by Huawei will also be utilized.
In August 2025, the model was renamed as the Hyundai EO in China and the launch date was revealed as of September 2025.[6]
Production begins on October 16, 2025, with pre-sales set to commence on the same day.[7] Later that month, it was announced that Hyundai would sell the vehicle in Australia under its original Elexio name.[8]
Powertrain
The model is based on the 800V architecture.[9] The battery capacity is 101.7 kWh. The range is expected to go up to 435 miles. The Elexio can be fast-charged from 30% to 80% in 27 minutes.[10]
An all-wheel-drive version was confirmed on June 20, 2025. The power output ranges from 214 horsepower in the FWD version to 312 horsepower in the AWD version. The battery is supplied by BYD's battery subsidiary FinDreams.[11]
