A camouflaged prototype of the Hyundai Casper electric vehicle (EV) was recently spotted testing in Europe. The Hyundai Casper is the automaker's smallest SUV, built on the K1 platform and measuring 3,595 mm in length.

The latest spy shots reveal a camouflaged Casper EV, with features such as split LED lighting units. Notably, the presence of a front-mounted charging port and the absence of tailpipes indicate the use of a zero-emission powertrain. Interior snapshots suggest enhancements, including a larger infotainment touchscreen and a revised digital instrument cluster.

Hyundai is likely to make improvements in ride quality, noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), safety features, and overall refinement to cater to the European market's higher standards and stricter safety regulations.

The Casper EV will feature an integrated drive module (iDM) sourced from BorgWarner, capable of producing up to 178.5 bhp. However, this power output may be adjusted for production. While details about the battery pack remain undisclosed, it is expected to offer a range suitable for urban driving, similar to its competitors.
