Paint Protection

PPF for the Hyundai Compact Electric SUV (name to be announced): What We Install and Why

Where it takes damage

Not yet seen in the bay. Expect the usual compact-EV pattern: a heavier car throwing grit at lower doors and arches, flat-faced aero wheels that kerb easily, and a front fascia with large plastic sections.

Our recommendation

We will publish an AG1 plan once the first cars reach Hyderabad; a full-front AG1 package in week one is the sensible default for any new EV.
