More recently, at the outcome conference to investors of October 29, transcribed by Seeking Alpha, when referring to the next planned models, an investor said: “In India we have Bayon and Ioniq P“.
No details were released, but the website Motor1. with writes that it is a Compact electric input SUV in range with the internal code name HE1i. According to Electrek, a few months ago the possible prototype was caught in tests near the Hyundai factory in Chennai (India).
Development takes place in that Asian country, but the aforementioned international designation register indicates that it can go to other markets – but apparently not the European market.
Strong global offensive
Hyundai is preparing a strong global strike in the coming years. In August, during Investor Day, plans for 100 new releases were announced by 2030.
Among new and renewed models, there will be 41 in Europe, to which 58 are added in North America, 26 in India and 49 in their country of origin, South Korea.
On the same occasion, Hyundai revealed that it prepares two new SUVs from segment B – one global and another for Europe – plus an electric A-SUV for India.
