Hyundai EO Yio New Energy Vehicle Launched

On October 29th, Beijing Hyundai held a New Energy Strategy and EO New Car Launch Event in Yantai. The new model is available in three variants, marking the brand’s first vehicle built on the E-GMP global dedicated electric vehicle platform and positioned as an all-electric compact SUV

Externally, the Beijing Hyundai EO Yio boasts high recognition with its slim and elongated headlights on both sides, inlaid with four rectangular LED light sources. When illuminated, they even evoke thoughts of Bugatti. Below the headlights lies a full-width LED daytime running light. The front bumper adopts a three-section design, featuring an active air intake grille in the center and air vents on both sides. For exterior colors, the new model offers seven options: Twilight Purple, Pearl White, Pearl Black, Matte White, Cyber Silver, Turquoise Blue, and Camouflage Grey.

Moving to the side profile, the new model creates a floating roof effect through blacked-out A-pillars. Meanwhile, the gunmetal gray D-pillars seamlessly integrate with the rear spoiler, enhancing its sporty texture. In terms of dimensions, the Beijing Hyundai EO Yio measures 4615/1875/1698 mm in length/width/height with a wheelbase of 2750 mm, and offers optional 18-inch and 20-inch alloy wheels.

Moving to the rear end, the new model creates a strong three-dimensional sense through abundant lines and color coordination. The full-width taillights adopt a dot-matrix layout, which feature a gradient effect when illuminated, exuding a strong sense of technology. In addition, the Hyundai brand logo is embedded in the rear window, and the model's English badge is located below the taillights. The rear bumper adopts a multi-layered two-tone design (different from the body color), and the overall coordination enhances the vehicle's layered appearance.

Inside the cabin, the Beijing Hyundai EO Yio features a stepped center console design. Standing out is the 27-inch 4K dual-screen setup consisting of a central control screen and a passenger entertainment screen, with the infotainment system powered by the Qualcomm 8295 chip. Additionally, the new model adopts a column shifter design, and the central console island area offers ample storage space along with wireless phone charging functionality.

Two power battery capacities are available: 64.3kWh and 88.1kWh. Depending on the power and battery combinations, the driving range ranges from 518km, 540km, 590km, 692km to 722km. For the suspension system, the new model adopts a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear five-link independent suspension

With its tech-forward front fascia, dynamic and sleek side profile, and space advantages brought by the electric-only platform, the EO showcases the fashionable demeanor and practical essence that a modern pure electric SUV should possess. Undoubtedly, it brings a strong new option to the highly competitive compact all-electric SUV marke
