The Hyundai Elexio, alternatively the Hyundai EO (Chinese: 现代羿欧; pinyin: Xiàndài Yìōu) in China, is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Hyundai through their Beijing Hyundai joint venture.

Overview

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 May 1, 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 May 7, 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 October 16, 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]

Powertrain

The model is based on a 800V electrical architecture.[9] It has a choice of two FinDreams-supplied LFP battery packs, either 64.2 kWh or 88.112 kWh capable of CLTC ranges up to 540 and 722 km (336 and 449 mi), respectively. The Elexio can be fast-charged from 30% to 80% in 27 minutes.[10] Power output ranges from 214 horsepower (160 kW; 217 PS) in the FWD version to 312 horsepower (233 kW; 316 PS) in the AWD version.[11]

Markets

Australia

The Elexio was launched in Australia on January 6, 2026, in the sole Elite variant powered by the 88.1 kWh battery pack and is only available in front-wheel-drive.[12]
