No details of the Hyundai electric sedan concept are available as of now. Given the popularity of B-segment cars in India, it is possible that Hyundai is developing a compact car with an electric powertrain. Technical specifications are currently unknown. Hyundai is developing a dedicated electric vehicle platform that will underpin multiple EVs with different driving ranges.

In addition to the potential production version of the Hyundai electric sedan concept, the Hyundai Kona EV could also sell in India. Earlier this year, reports said that Hyundai is considering the Hyundai Kona EV for India. This model will have a driving range of 390 km. Of course, it is obvious that it would have a steep pricing if launched.
