A Giant Step in Mobility with Hyundai Mobis’ eCorner Innovation
The automotive industry is always evolving, and Hyundai has just taken this transformation to a new level. The company’s Mobility Technology division, known as Hyundai Mobis, has launched an innovative hardware suite: the eCorner.
This technology, which allows a car’s wheels to rotate up to 90 degrees, promises to revolutionize not only how we park but also how we move around cities. Let’s dive into this novelty!
The Idea Behind the eCorner
Although the eCorner was revealed for the first time in 2021, its overall concept has been in development since 2018. The differential is that Hyundai Mobis has now applied this technology to a specific model, the Hyundai Onix 5, to demonstrate its full potential.

The new generation of the Jeep Renegade targets SUV consumers below US$30,000 (R$150,000), a price range for intermediate versions of the T-Cross and Nivus in Brazil. The model was discontinued in the US in 2023, according to MoparInsiders.

Honda City 2027: with a 1.5-liter 126 hp engine, 7-speed CVT transmission, and an exclusive look for Brazil, the sedan will feature a unique front fascia, 6 airbags, Honda Sensing as standard, and up to 4.57 m in length.

With a price of R$ 96,790, fuel consumption of up to 15.4 km/l, and leadership among hatches in 2026, the Hyundai HB20 Limited 1.0 enters the dispute against Volkswagen Polo and BYD Dolphin Mini, attempting to dominate the market below R$ 100,000.
Flexibility on Four Wheels
The eCorner is basically a base of four wheels capable of turning the tires up to 90 degrees. This enables a series of unprecedented maneuvers: parallel parking with ease, moving laterally, and even making turns on a fixed point, practically in the same spot. It’s as if the car dances on the road!
Adaptation to Electric Cars
Hyundai emphasizes that this technology is especially suitable for compact and mid-size electric cars, as well as SUVs. The eCorner module can be customized to fit perfectly into the vehicle’s design without taking up unnecessary space.
An interesting point is that Hyundai Mobis chose not to incorporate motors in the wheels themselves. This could add unsprung weight to the assembly, compromising the vehicle’s comfort and driveability. The focus now is to develop a “skateboard platform” with four eCorner modules by 2023 and integrate autonomous driving technology by 2025.
What to Expect from Hyundai’s eCorner
The Hyundai Mobis eCorner is more than just a simple innovation; it is a glimpse into the future of mobility. With the promise of greater flexibility and efficiency in traffic, this technology could become a game changer in the automotive industry.
