On the evening of October 29, Beijing Hyundai launched its first pure electric SUV, the Beijing Hyundai EO. The company offers three models, priced between 119,800 and 149,800 yuan (21050$). This vehicle marks the brand’s entry into the pure electric platform market. It features substantial capabilities. Let’s introduce the new car’s details. Pricing and benefits.
New Car Introduction
Let’s talk about the appearance. It clearly aims to distinguish itself from Chinese new energy brands. For example, the front features eight small angel eyes on each side. Below, a light strip resembles pixel art, showcasing a modern electric vehicle style. There is an active grille below that helps the battery maintain optimal temperature in various conditions.
The side of the car shows the designer’s intent to offer freshness. Many details catch the eye. The sloping line design stands out. The silver trim at the rear adds flair. The rich line design enhances the visual effect. The car measures 4615mm in length, 1875mm in width, and 1675mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. It positions itself as a compact SUV.
I think the rear design looks cool. The taillights feature a pixel art design. This clearly shows the family genes. The entire rear has great depth.
The interior design emphasizes a wild style. The 27-inch screen on the center console delivers a stunning visual effect. It reportedly comes standard across all models. Another wild feature is the “Cyber Eye Heads-Up Display.” It projects instrument information onto the area below the windshield. Users can choose from three modes: standard, minimalist, and map.
The interior materials impress me. Beijing Hyundai focuses on quality. They use large areas of leather and suede-like microfiber. This combination creates a premium look. When you touch it, the feel enhances that premium vibe. It adds emotional value. I especially like the soft material on the right leg support. It shows great attention to user comfort.
Two 15W wireless charging panels support dual wireless charging. Now, the driver and passenger no longer argue over one charging spot. This promotes family harmony. As an electric vehicle, it features two paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. These shifters control four levels of energy recovery. Press and hold the left shifter to activate single-pedal mode. Press and hold the right shifter to switch to automatic mode.
The rear seats offer 14 adjustable positions and a 28° tilt. The regular volume is 506L, expanding to 1540L when the second-row seats fold down. The vehicle has 46 storage spaces. When the second-row seats fold flat, they create a nearly level surface. This space works well as a temporary bed for camping.
The car offers single and dual motor options. The single motor front-wheel version delivers a maximum power of 160 kW. The dual motor all-wheel version provides a maximum power of 233 kW. It pairs with 64.2 kWh and 88.1 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery packs. Under CLTC conditions, the range has five versions: 518 km, 540 km, 590 km, 692 km, and 722 km.
