Codenamed as He1i, the new compact EV has been officially named as Hyundai Ioniq P, thus using its global nameplate to set a bar for the Indian market. Let’s break down the upcoming car’s technical specs, range and launch details.
Hyundai Ioniq P: Bringing a Premium Nameplate
We all are aware of Hyundai’s premium Ioniq nameplate and about the flagship Ioniq 5. The Managing Director of Hyundai Motor India, Tarun Garg expressed that the vehicle has been specially designed for Indian road conditions.
In order to keep prices competitive, the Ioniq P will be locally manufactured at Hyundai’s Sriperumbudur facility in Tamil Nadu, as it is specifically developed for the Indian market.
Hyundai Ioniq P Expected Battery and Range
The Ioniq P is expected to be powered by a 42 kWh and a substantial 49 kWh battery pack, while the company has not revealed the exact range figures, the battery sizes indicate that Hyundai will be positioning the car for daily urban commutes and for small weekend highway trips, eradicating the range anxiety.
It also comes with features such as front and rear power windows, heated ORVMs, with a standard automatic gearbox to elevate the driving feel.
Hyundai Ioniq P Expected Price and Launch Timeline
The Ioniq P is all set to create a revolution in the budget-EV segment, as the company will be pricing it competitively at an expected price of Rs 9.79 lakh to Rs 12.99 lakh. Thus the Ioniq P could redefine the standards for entry-level electric SUVs in the country.
The Hyundai Ioniq P is expected to be introduced in the Indian market in January 2027 and is expected to directly compete with established rivals like the Tata Nexon EV and the Mahindra 3XO EV, alongside recently launched Kia Syros EV.
