A LUXURY executive saloon boasting a brutish 5.0-litre V8 is Hyundai’s view of its future as it unveiled the Hyundai Vision G Coupe Concept at this week’s Frankfurt Motor Show.
During the design process, a collaboration was made between Hyundai Motor creative teams in North America, Asia and Europe and one of its ‘tricks’ is an automatic door that acts like a valet.
Vision G top spots
- Vision G displays passion for luxury and performance to inspire future premium products;
- New intuitive controls include curved display and ‘Remote Wheel’;
- Advanced technologies demonstrate the potential of in-car connectivity.
A sense of the car’s performance capabilities is created by clever treatment of the concept’s exterior. The long hood, high-beltline and understated cabin present an appearance of tension, like a loaded slingshot.
The interior design ensures the driver is ensconced in a relaxing, non-glitzy environment, with luxury provided by the natural, warm wood and leather.
At the heart of Hyundai Vision G is the award-winning 5.0-litre Tau V8 engine, producing 420hp at 6,000rpm and 383 lb ft. of torque at 5,000rpm.
Vision G technologies include the central control panel ‘Remote Wheel’ a semi-sphere haptic touchpad installed in the centre console. It offers intuitive touch and gesture interaction and responds to a simple wave of the hand, minimising driver distraction.
Vision G is equipped with a curved display on its centre fascia, delivering information rich in detail. By removing all physical buttons, Vision G presents a simple and intuitive overall cabin ambience.
The driver’s preferred display content is freely interchangeable between cluster and centre fascia, helping them keep their eyes on the road.
All of Hyundai Motor’s latest intelligent and safety functions – including Autonomous Driving System and Driver State Monitoring – are intuitively and thoroughly implemented within Vision G.
Peter Schreyer, president and chief design officer of Hyundai. said: “Vision G is the first high-end premium coupe by Hyundai Motor. Despite its bold and powerful styling, the concept is purposefully understated, creating a balance of opulence and elegance that will resonate with customers who seek style without pretention.
“Vision G represents a fresh interpretation of Hyundai Motor’s characteristic approach of balancing design and performance, expressed in a way that isn’t overburdened with glitz and stereotypical luxury cues.”
