It could get dual 12.3-inch screens, a premium sound system and a new steering wheel with a column-mounted gear selector.

Other expected features include ventilated seats, powered front seats, 360-degree camera and Level 2 ADAS for added safety.

The new Hyundai EV is likely to come with a battery pack of around 40 kWh. It is expected to offer a driving range of around 400 to 500 km on a single charge.

A single electric motor driving the front wheels is likely, with a 0-100 km/h time of under 10 seconds.

Features like regenerative braking, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging could also be included.
