Hyundai Pony EV Is A One-Off Design Concept With Modern Tech

Hyundai has quietly unveiled a one-off design concept based on the Pony from the 1970s but updated with an electric powertrain.

The project was led by Hyundai’s chief interior designer Hak Soo Ha and is currently on display at the automaker’s customer center in Busan, South Korea. It was once an original two-door Pony hatchback and has been overhauled and given a modern touch with some features reminiscent of the all-electric Ioniq 5.

To give the Pony EV a unique look, it has been fitted with modern headlights while the rear has LED taillights similar to those of the Ioniq 5 that feature the same pixelated design. It also has camera-based exterior mirrors mounted on the fenders and sits on a set of retro-inspired wheels.

The interior of the Hyundai Pony EV has undergone an even more comprehensive overhaul than the exterior and includes a unique three-spoke steering wheel, as well as a distinctive instrument panel unlike any you’ll currently find on the market.

Hyundai removed the original powertrain of the Pony and replaced it with an all-electric one, although there are no details about it. The concept will be on display at the Hyundai Motorstudio in Busan until June 27, 2021.
