Unveiled at the Seoul Motor Show in the South Korean brand's homeland, it's badged Velostar, and boasts a bold front end with a deep front splitter, as well as large, upswept headlamps.
The sporty theme continues with flared wheelarches filled with enormous 20-inch alloys, along with curvaceous body panels and low side skirts. Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine which drives the front wheels through a five-speed automatic gearbox.
The Hyundai Coupe Velostar is shorter yet wider than the current Hyundai Coupe, and features a full-length panoramic glass roof, complete with a |
body-coloured central beam.
Inside, it has a 2+2 layout - much like the Honda CRX from the Eighties - and uses a combination of retro detailing and modern minimalist touches, including brushed aluminium switchgear. The Hyundai Coupe Velostar has plenty of technology, too, such as a docking station for MP3 digital music players in front of the gearlever. |
The styling of the Hyundai Coupe Velostar is very significant for the company. Hyundai's vice president of design, Oh Suk-Geun, told Auto Express: "We wanted to try something really different with this car as we're aware that we need radically new products to attract younger buyers. This is a really bold direction for us." Hyundai also debuted the estate version of its new i30 small family car at the Seoul expo.
The Ford Focus-sized load-lugger - badged FD Wagon in Korea - was styled in Germany, and has a built-in roof rack for added practicality. |

| There's also a USB port, so occupants can link their iPod to the car's stereo. Priced around £12,000, the i30 Wagon arrives in the summer, alongside the hatch.
