The Hyundai Elexio, alternatively the Hyundai EO (Chinese: 现代羿欧; pinyin: Xiàndài Yìōu) in China, is a compact crossover SUV manufactured in China by Hyundai through its Beijing Hyundai joint venture.
Overview
[edit]
Development was led by Hyundai's R&D center in Shanghai. It was expected to launch in 2026[2] but the launch was rescheduled to early 2025. The model's original name (Elexio) was revealed on 1 May 2025.[3] It is not available in the South Korean market where most Ioniq models are produced. The related sister-model Kia EV5 was offered instead.
The Elexio was officially unveiled on 7 May 2025.[4]
The model has full-width light bars on both ends. The rear light bar has slight curvatures at the rear.[5]
A 27-inch HUD is expected to come with the Elexio. The infotainment system will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip. An advanced ADAS system developed by Huawei will also be utilized.
In August 2025, the model was renamed as the Hyundai EO in China and the launch date was revealed as of September 2025.[6]
Production commenced on 16 October 2025, with pre-sales set to commence on the same day.[7] Later that month, it was announced that Hyundai would sell the vehicle in Australia under its original Elexio name.[8]
