Hyundai has
released a single teaser image of a mystery new model it is preparing to
introduce in European markets. The image, shared online by the South Korean’s
automaker’s European press department, previews the C-pillar of the car and
offers a glimpse of the taillight. We can also see an eye-catching side window
and a door line which swoops up towards the roof and then flows down the rear
fascia to the taillight.
In the brief press
release detailing the new vehicle, Hyundai says “the newcomer will offer
customers new exterior and interior design, as well as new connectivity and
safety features which will make it a leader in its class.”
Other than these
details, nothing else is known about the new Hyundai but, based on its shape,
we’re inclined to suggest that it is a small crossover. Those familiar with the
Hyundai family will know that the company only unveiled its new entry-level
crossover, the Venue, earlier this year. However, that vehicle won’t be sold in
Europe, so it is possible that the vehicle teased will be its European
equivalent, complete with a bespoke design.
Hyundai promises to
release more information about its new European-bound vehicle in the coming
weeks prior to its global premiere at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September.
