South Korean carmaker Hyundai launched its second made-in-Singapore electric vehicle (EV) on July 19, opening order books for a locally assembled version of its Ioniq 6 sedan.

Four models are available: two with 53 kilowatt-hour (kWh) batteries that need a Category A certificate of entitlement (COE), and two with 77kWh batteries that need a Category B COE.

Prices range from $192,150 to $244,850, including COE.

Production began at the end of June at the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Centre Singapore (HMGICS) in Bulim Avenue.

HMGICS, an advanced research and assembly facility in the Jurong Innovation District, is the Republic's first EV factory. It was officially opened in November 2023.
