After disclosing the new investment, Hyundai Motor Group’s CEO, Jae Hoon Chang, stated about its new integrated Modular architecture (IMA). This would replace the E-GMP models going ahead.
Talking about the IMA platform which is developed to cover more than just mid-size SUVs. It will bring a “significant advancement” over the E-GMP
It encompasses nearly all vehicle classes, ranging from small and large SUVs to pickup trucks, along with the flagship models of the Genesis brand.
