Built under the Beijing-Hyundai joint venture, the Elexio is a China-exclusive model developed with local tastes, tech trends, and user expectations in mind. With a CLTC-certified range of 700 km , futuristic interiors, and a practical yet premium cabin, the Elexio could become a major disruptor in the Chinese EV SUV space.700 Km CLTC Range: Hyundai Elexio Promises Long-Distance EfficiencyAt the heart of the Elexio’s appeal is its impressive 700-kilometer range on a full charge, certified by the China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC) . This figure places the Elexio among the top contenders in the range department, especially important in the Chinese market where long-distance commuting is growing.The Elexio is built on Hyundai Motor Group’s proven E-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform) . The front-wheel drive model delivers 215 hp from a single motor , while the all-wheel drive (AWD) variant pairs it with a 98 hp rear motor , producing a combined output of 312 hp . The result? Strong acceleration and versatile handling across variants.Fast Charging: 30% to 80% in Just 27 MinutesCharging anxiety is a real concern for EV users but not with the Hyundai Elexio. It supports ultra-fast charging , allowing the battery to go from 30% to 80% in only 27 minutes . This puts it in league with some of the most advanced EVs in the market, like the Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6.Futuristic Interior: 27-Inch Ultra Slim Display Takes Center StageOne of the biggest talking points is the Elexio’s stunning 27-inch ultra-slim screen , which seamlessly integrates the infotainment system with the front passenger display.
