With this Hyundai, most likely you will succeed, and not because it is particularly small: it is a demonstration car based on the electric Ioniq 5, thousands of which have already been sold in Israel, and at almost 5 meters long, it is not exactly a small urban car.
Hyundai's replacement division, Kia Mobis, presented at the CES exhibition in Las Vegas yesterday the Movion: Ioniq 5 that, instead of a rear engine, or rear and front in dual-drive models, received four engines, one in each wheel, a system Hyundai calls e-corner.
And not just any engine: each engine comes with a gearbox and brakes, like in the revolutionary wheel of Israeli company REE Automotive. This way, each wheel can rotate 90 degrees, taking the concept of steering to a new level for all wheels: the vehicle can move on an incline, making it much easier to navigate through a tight street, in width significantly easing any parallel parking entrance, or to turn in place, a capability that has become a status symbol among luxurious electric off-road vehicles, like the Mercedes EQG and BYD's YangWang U8.
Mobis and Hyundai have not yet announced the implementation of this capability in serial production. But watch the video and just imagine it in your used Hyundai Sonata, suddenly jumping into parking spots as if it were a new i10.
