The buyer received an aesthetic-technological upgrade mask and will be sold in Israel in three distinct packages according to price levels. At this stage, it is not known when his all-electric model, introduced more than a year ago, will arrive in the country, they said. The current hybrid model launched several months ago will continue unchanged alongside it. Performance version, The N Performance (275 hp) will not reach us.

Hyundai also reports an improvement in the spacing of the rows, elbows and knees, even though its width remains the same at 1.80 m, and so is its height with 1.57 m and its wheelbase 2.60 m.
The highlight of the turbo model is the increase in maximum power, although the Koreans did not take advantage of this in favor of an increase in performance but for a smoother integration between the gearbox and the propulsion system in high areas; The engine now produces 198 hp at 6,000 rpm (177 hp before) and the torque figure also stands at the same 27 kg achieved from a range of 1,600 rpm.
