Specifically targeting China's competitive electrified vehicle market, the Lafesta EV is an ecofriendly model of the China-specific sporty sedan, Lafesta, released in October 2018, and will be available to customers in the early part of next year.

The EV model exemplifies Hyundai Motor's Sensuous Sportiness design approach — harmonising the four fundamental elements of vehicle design: proportion, architecture, styling and technology — while adding a sharp, agile and athletic appeal derived from the image of a shark.

“With the launch of the Lafesta EV, Hyundai Motor Company is accelerating the popularization of its electrification drive in China at full throttle,” said Seogju Cha, the Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Hyundai Motor Group (China) Ltd. “By ushering in electrification across all vehicle classes into the future, Hyundai Motor is playing a key role of bringing about China's clean future environment as an ecofriendly mobility brand.”

The Lafesta EV sedan is defined by distinctive exterior elements, such as a new radiator grille, front and rear bumpers, 17-inch aluminium wheels, LED Head Lamps and Rear Combi Lamps and ecofriendly emblem, all of which accentuate the sedan's athletic appearance. It measures 4,705mm in length by 1,790mm in width, and by 1,435mm in height with a 2,700mm wheelbase — bigger than the Lafesta sporty sedan.

With a maximum power of 150kW and maximum torque of 310 Nm, the vehicle is equipped with a 56.5kWh high-capacity All Electric Range lithium battery with a drive range of 490km on a single charge, designed to add thrill and excitement to driving. It also comes with a panoramic sunroof that can be voice-controlled. The hue spectrum of the exterior surface is available in five colours, including the shimmering metallic Shooting Star chroma designed specifically for the EV model.

Safety features include a set of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), such as Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA), Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), Safe Exit Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) as well as 6airbags, burglar alarm and others.

In terms of interior design and features, the Lafesta EV is fitted with a 7-inch colour Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) cluster showing EV information and the battery charge state; a 10.25-inch LCD Audio-Video-Navigation (AVN) infotainment screen tailored to EV performance; a wirelessly controlled Shift-by-Wire electronic lever; wireless cellphone charger; and a black metallic console.

With regards to connectivity devices, the Lafesta EV comes with an EV-specific navigation system that guides the vehicle to the nearest charging station and enables pre-controlled charging; the Baidu Duer OS voice recognition system allowing voice control of the sunroof, windows and other features; and the Home IoT Speaker Connectivity Service enabling home-based remote control of various tasks such as starting the car, air-conditioning and heating and locking the door.

Via these models and technologies, Beijing Hyundai Motor Company demonstrates its strategy and capacity for leading the nation's automotive landscape, encompassing electrified platforms, advanced design, state-of-the-art connectivity technologies and high-performance models.
