While Kia have been making some amazing progress with their vehicle design thanks to it’s new European-based design team, not much can be said about big brother Hyundai’s new designs. This Hyundai HND-3 Veloster Concept seems to be inspired from design cues with many of the cars already out there on the market, with the most obvious being Honda’s REMIX Concept.

i agree wihh you, the front n back looks pretty much like the honda remix.nothing to shout about.i dont know bout you guys but the interior seems taken out from the proton iswara.this it what the call a concept car? oh puh-leez!

Glassware reminiscent of Lancia Stratos (also evident in Suzuki Swift on a more diluted scale). Has DNA shared with Kia Soul I think.

oh, by the way im saying about the dashboard….not all of the interior.

Its great to see concept models now and then, get excited and have new found respect only to realize a couple of months later that they probably (98-99% ? hmm) would never produce it.
We’ve seen so many models from Kia over the years and nearly none of them have come to fruition. Same goes for Jaguar but it might change for the new Jag XK as they said they would produce it.

seem like every car maker are now copying proton.

April 10, 2007 @ 3:46 pm
I’m only interested in the wheels and seats, that’s all…..

concept cars do not necesarilly have to become production models. they are used by car companies to showcase their abilities, and their ideas to maintain interests in what their stylists are currently doing.. its part of the PR/Marketing machine. The mass manufactured cars that actually earn money for car companies are usually never shown as concepts. These are the ones that remain closely guarded secrets. Usually, concepts that become a reality, end up as niche models.

good design.
sporty look.
overall, a fine work from the designer.
it’s just the dashboard look boring and simple.
as an example, should refer the new civic. it has a good one.
the interior doesnt have sporty look at all. too soft.
doesnt match the exterior design.
April 10, 2007 @ 5:14 pm
Ok lar. Better than many other concept car.
April 10, 2007 @ 5:36 pm
Very nice concept design. Hope soon PROTON will come with something amazing
Maybe more more than this …. WORK MORE TALK LESS
April 10, 2007 @ 6:30 pm
easily perceivd as a powerful hot hatch or gti,
realization of the concept into a real car is another story,
but at this point, it exterior as if saying im fast and powerful hothatch
anyway logo is dumb,

You are kidding right?? Hahahaa
As far as I can remember, even old BMW E28 and some BMW 2002s had exhaust coming out the middle. The Boxster is the fisrt of the modern cars to have the centre exhaust.

plueessssa la hyundai, be original lah! this is not a concept car Its a COPY car. the butt looks like honda remix. the front of a new lancer
April 10, 2007 @ 9:29 pm
Looks nice but will never see a road version of this.
April 11, 2007 @ 8:31 am
Hey, at the very least Hyundai is making concepts. Do you see any concepts from Proton for the past 20 odd years?
April 11, 2007 @ 8:50 am
Guys, you’re right. I just realised that Proton hardly (or never) comes out with a concept car? Maybe the closest concept is by changing some bodykits and mouldings for pre-promo.
BTW, what happen to the Hyundai Accent SR Concept? That concept looks close to reality. It can happen but somehow it never came true.

What is a lounge chair doing in a retro interior and what is a retro interior doing in a futuristic car? LOL, all mixed up. Like the interior though
