Hyundai To Show Off Their New EV Concept Car in Frankfurt.
Hyundai Motor will display the company’s focus toward the future direction of car design at the forthcoming IAA Frankfurt Motor Show (Sept. 10-22, 2019). Inspired by looking back at the brand’s first model in the 1970s, the 『45』 .The fully-electric concept car will give hints of how Hyundai wants to develop their EV aspirations in future.
Hyundai is said to be working on a new dedicated EV platform that works with larger vehicles than the current platform shared by the Ioniq compact and Kona subcompact, both of which offer hybrid and gasoline-only powertrains in addition to pure-EV options.
The new platform would probably be shared with corporate partners Genesis and Kia. Kia offers the Niro subcompact on the current small-vehicle platform in hybrid, plug-in hybrid and EV configurations.
