# Hyundai’s new Venus IONIQ EV looks fake after it was caught driving on public streets [Video]

After unveiling the new Venus and Earth last week, we are already getting our first look at Hyundai’s new IONIQ EV in real life.

## Hyundai introduces Earth and Venus IONIQ EV concepts

Hyundai is bringing its IONIQ EV brand to China to take on BYD and other leading electric vehicle manufacturers.

The new vehicles won’t look like the IONIQ 5 or other models in the lineup, with a distinct new style, advanced software, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) custom-designed for Chinese buyers.

We got a sneak peek of what to expect after Hyundai unveiled the Earth and Venus EV concepts last week, set to spearhead the IONIQ brand launch in China.
