最近谍照记者首次在加拿大拍到了一辆疑是纯电动版的现代伊兰特。据记者介绍，这辆重度伪装的伊兰特行驶非常安静，车身多项配置表明这是一辆电动车。而且，现代其他电动车的同样风格轮圈也出现在这辆车上。谍照记者最初还没有找到该车的排气尾管。但仔细看发现排气尾管隐藏在右侧轮拱下边。或许这个排气管是假的，也不排除这是一辆插电混动车的可能。除了明显的电动车痕迹外，这辆车还采用了一些新的升级。该车前脸虽然被遮盖，但仍能看出与现行版不同，尾灯组也是全新的。这是谍照记者首次拍到疑是电动版伊兰特，因此没有该车的任何细节。如果是电动车，或许该车动力系统与Ioniq一样，后者搭载87千瓦/118马力电机，续航里程199公里，竞争车型包括日产聆风，雪佛兰Bolt和特斯拉Model 3等车型。

 

Hyundai Elantra EV Possibly Spied For The First Time

Hyundai surprised us all with the debut high-powered Veloster N in Detroit, but even with all that added performance on tap in the lineup, the Korean marque hasn’t forgotten about its goal of a more efficient future. The Ioniq will soon be joined by a second silent sedan; new spy photos suggest that an electric Elantra could eventually be offered.

 

Spotted testing on a snowy lake bed in Canada, the heavily camouflaged Elantra was completely quiet, according to our photographers, and featured a few cues that could reveal its electric identity. For one, the same style of wheels Hyundai uses for its other EVs are found on this model. Our spy photographers also cite no exhaust tips, but upon further inspection, a hidden exhaust can be seen in the lower right fender. It could be a decoy, or it could signify a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

 

Apart from the obvious EV-inspired cues, there are some new design elements that should carry over throughout the entirety of the Elantra range. The front fascia, though well covered up, is unique compared to the current model. The taillights appear to be slightly new, too.

 

This is the first time we’ve heard (or seen) anything about a proposed Elantra EV, so there isn’t much in the way of details. If it’s anything like the Ioniq – which comes with a 118-horsepower (87-kilowatt) electric motor and a range of 124 miles (199 kilometers)– it should be competitive with offerings like the new Nissan Leaf, the Chevrolet Bolt, and the Tesla Model 3, among others.
