– **Aerodynamic Excellence**: A drag coefficient of 0.27 and sleek parametric surfaces optimize efficiency, while dynamic chrome lines connect the beltline to a rear spoiler with integrated high-stop lamp.
– **N Performance Flair**: Sportier variants feature black mirrors, dual exhausts, silver trim, and a wing-shaped bumper for an aggressive stance.
The EV-inspired design is accentuated by bright color options and sculpted wheel arches, catering to diverse lifestyles while maintaining Hyundai’s signature boldness.
