Speaking about the unique concept, Angela Zepeda, Chief Marketing Officer - Hyundai Motor America, said, “At Hyundai, we are always looking for new ways to connect with customers on every mile of their journey, and the magic that Disney creates inspires us to deliver moments of delight for our customers. This is the first time that Disney has opened the doors to their design studio and granted access to Disney’s iconic characters for artistic collaboration with an automaker. The Ioniq 5 is Hyundai’s flagship all-electric vehicle, and we are excited to share a limited edition version that will deliver an unforgettable experience for any Disney fan."
Inside, the Ioniq 5 Disney100 Platinum Concept gets the Disney100 logo embossed on the front seat headrests, floor mats, and centre console. It further goes into the world of magic with the moon roof etched with pixie dust, while there’s a synchronised light show with the interior lights with changing light modes. The concept’s interior screen also gets a Disney-themed intro animation whenever you start the EV along with the brand’s iconic music.
