Launch of the Luxurious 'Casper Electric Lounge'... Priced at 34.57 Million Won
Premium Interior and Exterior with Genuine Leather Seats and Kevlar Cone Speakers
"Expanding a Diverse Lineup with Lounge and Cross Models"
Hyundai Motor Company has announced that it will launch the "Casper Electric Lounge," featuring significantly upgraded premium materials, on March 18. The Casper Electric Lounge is the top-tier trim, and unlike the outdoor-inspired cross model released last year, it is characterized by its concept of "a space of one's own," delivering a sophisticated and luxurious interior atmosphere.
The dedicated radiator and bumper grille design gives the vehicle a futuristic feel, while projection-type full LED headlamps and LED rear combination lamps are standard, creating a refined ambiance. On the sides, the lounge model-exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels and medium metallic cladding & side molding further enhance its iconic appeal, and a roof rack is included as standard for added versatility.
The interior features genuine leather seats—the only ones of their kind in this vehicle class—along with knit-fabric headlining and sun visors, contributing to a cozy atmosphere.
Additionally, premium speakers with Kevlar cones (speaker diaphragms that minimize deformation during vibration for clear sound) have been added. Features that were previously optional, such as fully folding front seats, sliding and reclining second-row seats, and a luggage board, are now included as standard, enhancing the vehicle’s sense of luxury.
Five exclusive new exterior colors are available: Glow Mint, Atlas White, Unbleached Ivory, Tomboy Khaki, and Abyss Black Pearl. For the interior, two new color options are offered: Dark Gray·Dark Orange (with Glow Mint accents) and Black.
Equipped with a 49kWh NCM battery, the vehicle offers a driving range of 295 km per charge (based on 17-inch wheels, combined cycle). The battery can be charged from 10% to 80% capacity in just 30 minutes.
The retail price is set at 34.57 million won (including eco-friendly vehicle tax benefits). Taking into account government and local subsidies, the purchase price in Seoul is expected to be in the high 20 million won range.
Hyundai Motor Company plans to offer customers who sign a contract for the Casper Electric Lounge by March 31 and take delivery by April a Woody car neck pillow and sunglasses clip—popular items from the "Casper with Joguman Special Edition," created in collaboration with the "Joguman" character.
