New Hyundai Ioniq Subcompact EV: Hyundai has released the first set of images of its new concept electric vehicle (EV), which is set to make its global debut at the IAA Mobility Show 2025 in Munich, Germany. The Munich Show will run from September 9 to September 14. Anything regarding the official name is yet to be disclosed, but the soon-to-be-displayed concept car is anticipated to be a subcompact EV, likely named the Ioniq 2. If this materialises, the Ioniq 2 will be the smallest EV to join the Ioniq family.

From what we can discern from the teaser images, the concept vehicle assumes the form of a hatchback with a raked roofline. There is also a full-width LED light bar, both at the front and rear, taking inspiration from the Ioniq 6. Other visible elements include an integrated ducktail spoiler, flared fenders, and aggressive bumper intakes.
Hyundai says it will share two further sets of images, each highlighting distinctive design elements that will be showcased on the concept car at the upcoming IAA Mobility Show.
