Hyundai is getting ready to show off its newest electric car, the Ioniq 2 concept, at the IAA Mobility Show in Munich, Germany, from September 2025. This small electric crossover is designed to be affordable, practical, and stylish. Here’s what we know so far about this exciting new model.
A Smaller, Affordable Electric Car
The Ioniq 2 is expected to be Hyundai’s smallest electric car yet, sitting below the Ioniq 5. It’s aimed at people who want a compact EV that’s easy to drive in cities and doesn’t cost too much. Experts think it could start at around Rs.30,00,000 making it a good choice for first-time EV buyers or those looking for a budget-friendly option.
Built on Hyundai’s Modern EV Platform
This concept uses Hyundai’s E-GMP electric platform, which is the same base used in the Ioniq 5 and Kia EV2 and EV3. This platform allows Hyundai to build cars with different battery sizes and motor setups, which means the Ioniq 2 can offer good performance while keeping costs lower. The car is likely to use the 400V version, which balances range, speed, and efficiency.
Expected Range and Power
The Ioniq 2 is rumored to have two battery options. The smaller battery could give a range of up to 430 km (267 miles), while the larger one might reach around 599 km (372 miles) on a full charge. The car is expected to have a front electric motor with roughly 200 horsepower. This should make it quick enough for city driving and highway use while keeping energy use efficient.
Stylish and Modern Design
From the images Hyundai has released, the Ioniq 2 looks sleek and modern. Its compact crossover shape has a slightly sporty, coupe-like style, similar to the Ioniq 6. Inside, it’s expected to have a clean, minimal layout with a wide digital display combining the dashboard and infotainment system. Hyundai may also include new smart features, like an AI assistant and the ability to use the car’s battery to power devices outside the car.
When It Could Be Available
While the concept will debut at the IAA Mobility Show in September, the production version is expected in the third quarter of 2026. It will likely be made in Europe to meet demand there. The Ioniq 2 will compete with other small EVs like the VW ID.2X and Renault 4 E-Tech, offering drivers a practical, everyday electric car option.
Why the Ioniq 2 Matters
The Ioniq 2 concept shows Hyundai’s focus on creating affordable, easy-to-drive electric cars for everyone. It combines modern technology, a stylish design, and good range in a small package. For city drivers, small families, or anyone new to EVs, this could be a very attractive choice. The car also hints at what Hyundai’s future EV lineup might look like smaller, smarter, and more practical for everyday life.
