The Hyundai Elexio fully electric mid-size SUV arrived in China in 2024 as part of Hyundai’s expanding EV push. It was developed primarily for the Chinese market through the Beijing Hyundai joint venture, sitting alongside global electric models such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Hyundai Ioniq 6.
Unlike those cars, the Hyundai Elexio was tailored to local tastes, with its own exterior design and cabin layout. It rides on a version of Hyundai’s dedicated E-GMP electric platform.
From launch, the Hyundai Elexio offered single and dual motor variants, targeting competitive driving range and strong charging performance. Battery sizes and outputs varied by grade, with a focus on value and in-car technology. Large digital displays and over the air updates were standard highlights.
As of 2026, the Hyundai Elexio remains a single-generation model. In some export discussions it has been linked to the Ioniq family, though it retains the Elexio name in China.
The line-up currently starts at $58,990 for the Elexio (base) and ranges through to $61,990 for the range-topping Elexio Elite.
Available colours for the 2027 Hyundai Elexio are Crystal White, Medium Grey, Dragon Red, Pebble Blue and Phantom Black.
Standard feature highlights for the base grade 2027 Hyundai Elexio are dual-zone climate control, a six-way power driver’s seat, all LED exterior lighting, a giant 27-inch multimedia touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, a head-up display, six-speaker audio, alloy rims and a full-fat safety suite are all included.
The top-grade Elite adds heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power tailgate, 20-inch rims, leather-appointed seats, extra power adjustment for the driver’s seat and power adjust for the front passenger seat.
There’s plenty to like in terms of practicality inside the 2027 Hyundai Elexio, with lots of head, leg and shoulder room for full-size adults front and rear and plenty of storage. The entry-grade model’s interior is clean and functional but a predominantly grey colour palette makes it feel flat. A brighter two-tone trim and leather-accented upholstery in the Elite grade lifts the mood.
The 2027 Hyundai Elexio is powered by a single, front-mounted electric motor sending 160kW/310Nm to the front wheels.
