Hyundai is preparing the debut of the HE1i compact electric SUV

Hyundai is working on the launch of a new compact electric SUV, identified as the HE1i, which is expected to arrive within the current fiscal year. The model will sit below the brand’s other battery-powered SUVs, focusing on smaller dimensions and a role as an entry-level EV offering.

The HE1i should tap into growing demand for urban electric crossovers, a segment that is becoming increasingly crowded. For Europe, a model like this would be particularly interesting if it arrives with balanced range and a competitive price list.
