Is it the IONIQ 2 or 3? We are finally getting our first official look at the new Hyundai EV<\/a> that will debut at next month\u2019s Munich Motor Show.<\/p>\n

Hyundai teases new EV concept with a radical design<\/h2>\n

Rumors of a new entry-level Hyundai have been spreading like wildfire over the past few months. After a few prototypes have been spotted out in public<\/a> testing, some claim it\u2019s the IONIQ 2, while others say it will be called the IONIQ 2.<\/p>\n

Either way, the new model is almost here, and it sounds like it could shake things up. Hyundai dropped the first official images of the new EV on Tuesday, offering a glimpse of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s just a teaser, the images<\/a> reveal a few new design elements that will be showcased. The rear spoiler appears to be roughly the same shape and size as the updated IONIQ 6, which is likely to feature a full-length LED light bar.<\/p>\n

The teaser comes after several test vehicles have been spotted recently, displaying a similar, upright, more SUV-like style reminiscent of the Kia EV2<\/a> concept.<\/p>\n

Like its other IONIQ models and the Kia EV series, Hyundai\u2019s new concept is likely to be based on its advanced E-GMP platform. It\u2019s expected to fill the gap between the Inster EV and Kona Electric in Hyundai\u2019s electric car lineup.<\/p>\n

The interior is expected to be a step up from Hyundai\u2019s current vehicles with a new infotainment system<\/a>. Powered by its advanced new Pleos OS, the system will feel more like a smartphone.<\/p>\n

Hyundai has yet to announce prices, range, and other final specs. However, since the Kona Electric starts at \u00a334,995 ($47,000) in the UK, it will likely be priced closer to \u00a325,000 ($33,700), like the Kia EV2.<\/p>\n

Similar to the Kia EV3, Hyundai\u2019s new electric car will likely be offered with 58.3 kWh and 81.4 kWh battery packs. The former provides a WLTP range of 260 miles, while the latter is rated with a range of 365 miles on a single charge.<\/p>\n
