We already know that Hyundai will be showing off its Veloster at next week’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, as they’ve released teasers of that hatchback/coupe. It won’t be alone though; the fast rising Korean carmaker will also show this off – the HCD-12 Curb concept.
This teaser shot (we’ve brightened the dark bits for a better view) shows a compact crossover, a Nissan Juke rival that sits below the Tucson perhaps? It features a slim, aircraft cockpit style glasshouse and blackened A-pillars. There’s also a prominent character line that flows down from the rear lights to form a figure 7. Swelled wheelarches house big wheels with claw-like star spokes. Doesn’t look too outlandish for Hyundai, which has a range of bold new models.
The cabin however, is pure show car. Image is after the jump.
