Hyundai has a whole raft of new models to present at
the Geneva Motor Show this year. While some of them are already known to us,
the Korean automaker has also announced its intention to reveal something
entirely new. Though we don’t know exactly what to expect, Hyundai has
confirmed that the new concept will debut a new design language for the brand.
What form that concept will take, we couldn’t say at
this stage – coupe, convertible, sedan, wagon, minivan, sport-ute, crossover,
or something in between. But whatever it is, you can bet it has been designed
to draw attention to itself, even amidst all the glitz and glamor of Europe’s
premier auto show.
Regardless of its actual form, its styling,
proportions, architecture, and technology are bound to eventually make a
difference on future production models that are to follow.
Alongside the new concept, the manufacturer will
showcase the new Kona EV and the fourth-generation Santa Fe – both crossovers
marking their global debuts at the Swiss expo. The new Nexo fuel-cell vehicle
will also be shown for the first time in Europe, and there will be special Go!
editions of the i10, i20, i30, and Tucson, all decked out in Champions Blue to
celebrate Hyundai’s sponsorship of the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Russia.
