hyundai crab walk

“Hyundai crab walk” refers to the brand’s e-Corner tech demos where the wheels turn near 90 degrees so the car can slide diagonally like a crab.

It’s brilliant for party tricks and impossibly tight parking spots, and they’ve shown it off on Ioniq 5 prototypes with pivot turns and diagonal manoeuvres.

Now the buzzkill: as of 2024 in Australia, it’s not a production feature you can buy on any Hyundai showroom model.

Think of it as a sneak peek at future EV agility—cool to watch, not yet on the options list.
