Elliott Ingram was stunned when a thief stole his Hyundai Ioniq 5 car in less than 20 seconds .

The thief is believed to have used a device, available online, to mimic the car’s electronic key.

Hyundai promotes the convenience of its digital and smart keys, which allow motorists to lock or unlock the doors and start the engine while carrying just a key fob.

“The software and hardware updates that we have and are implementing will significantly reduce the risk of this particular form of vehicle theft occurring in the UK ,” said a spokesperson. “However, this is a race against very determined, well-funded individuals who stop at nothing to steal vehicles for multiple purposes.”.
