The Beijing-Hyundai joint venture’s new electric SUV, the Elexio EO, is scheduled to go into production on October 16 and go on sale the same day. The Elexio EO, which is based on Hyundai’s E-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform), is Beijing-Hyundai’s first fully electric SUV, marking a significant milestone.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8295P chip powers the Elexio EO, which offers a remarkable CLTC range of up to 722 km on a single charge along with intelligent performance and connectivity. 
Design Inspired by Morse Code
The Morse code for “H,” which is four dots, serves as the model for the Elexio EO. The unique square LED headlights composed of 152 LED units and a through-type light strip underneath reflect this.
The SUV’s sleek, aerodynamic profile is enhanced from the side by a D-pillar design, a sloping roofline, and concealed door handles. While a rearview camera and high-mounted brake light are seamlessly integrated into the roofline, a contrasting trim strip creates a wraparound effect between the rear window and the roof.

The cabin maximizes interior functionality and convenience with 29 storage compartments.
Future Plans and Market Outlook
Over the next four years, Beijing-Hyundai intends to introduce two to three new energy vehicles annually, including sedans, SUVs, and MPVs in BEV, PHEV, and EREV variants, as part of its “In China, for China, and to the world” strategy.
Beijing-Hyundai sold 17,871 cars in September, up 8% year over year and 19% month over month, indicating that the Chinese EV market is gaining traction.
