Codenamed the HED-6, this concept will give a clear indication of the direction which Hyundai will take with its next generation of SUVs.
According to Hyundai, the design team has combined a muscular design with everyday utility to create a car which will fit comfortably in an urban or off-road environment.
Allan Rushforth, Vice President at Hyundai Motor Europe said, �The HED-6 brings an entirely new look to Hyundai�s SUV line-up. It fuses a robust exterior with a fresh and elegant interior, making for an eye-catching package, while its latest-generation power train highlights Hyundai�s clean-technology expertise.�
The exterior look is emphasised by a hexagonal grille, angular style lines and back-swept front headlamps, with the bold look completed by 21-inch, mirror-polished alloy wheels and a specially developed �Ice Blue� exterior paint.
The HED-6 also reportedly marks the introduction of LED day time running lights into the Hyundai range as a trademark feature of the new concept.
Powering the new concept is a 1.6-litre GDi turbocharged engine which develops a rather healthy 130kW.
Also making their world premiere at the Geneva motor show from Hyundai will be the new i30 blue and i20 three-door.
The �blue� label represents a new ultra-low emissions sub-brand from Hyundai which demonstrates the company�s commitment to lowering CO2 output and reducing costs for consumers.
The i30 blue will be the first mass production vehicle to wear the new label and will also debut Hyundai�s ISG (Idle Stop and Go) technology in a production model for the first time.
This technology has been demonstrated to reduce fuel consumption by seven per cent when applied to the 1.6-litre petrol engine, while achieving a lower CO2 rating of 142g/km, compared to 152g/km on the regular i30 1.6.
