Hyundai’s unveiled the ‘Le Fil Rouge’ concept in
Geneva, in an attempt to unify its past, present and future designs all at
once. The new concept introduces the brand’s Sensuous Sportiness theme, which
will be embodied by all future Hyundai vehicles, from sedans to SUVs. The goal is to create “emotional value and desirability” while achieving
harmony between proportions, architecture, styling and technology.
This concept is said to have a proportional
character based on the golden ratio.
This is achieved through a long wheelbase design, large wheels and short
overhangs. Meanwhile, the dash-to-axle distance provides a comfortable driving
position, whereas the high belt line completes the overall aesthetic.
Other notable exterior features include how the
front and rear pillars, as well as the roof, blend into the silhouette of the
concept, whereas the interior design mirrors what you see on the outside thanks
to what Hyundai calls ‘Tube Architecture’.
The cabin design differentiates between the needs of
the driver and passenger. Where the front passenger seat is meant to maximize
comfort and offer sufficient leg room, the driver’s seat is designed with
optimized ergonomics in mind. Also worth pointing out is how the wrap-around
architecture of the cabin emphasizes depth, in turn creating a calm and
spacious environment for passengers, according to the Korean automaker.
As for what type of technologies one might find
on-board the Le Fil Rouge concept, there is a two-way air ventilation system,
high-tech fabrics and a panoramic floating display with haptic feedback.
