Hyundai i-oniq – taking ‘fluidic sculpture’ to the next step

Hyundai i-oniq – taking ‘fluidic sculpture’ to the next step

It promises to preview the next evolution of Hyundai’s ‘fluidic sculpture’ form language, the i-oniq concept, and the wraps are supposed to come off the vehicle in Geneva next year. For starters, the company has decided to tease the form as a simple silhouette sketch.

Two strong arched curves define the silhouette of the i-oniq, creating a playful contrast between the sharp character lines and soft but muscular features, so goes the brand’s European chief designer, Thomas Bürkle. Nothing beyond that on the car, which is designed and developed at the company’s European R&D centre in Russelsheim, Germany, so more as it gets closer to the Swiss show.

    Hyundai car designs are already fantastic looking and I absolutely adore them. Safety features and rating are equal to conti cars. Their engines and transmissions are up to par to modern technologies although still lagging a little behind conti cars. However, I think Hyundai should concentrate more on their ride and handling. So far I haven’t heard of anyone driving a Hyundai car praising its ride and handling. If Hyundai managed to improve in that area, then they be able to take their car to the next level.

    “i-chronic” means outdated lapok ugly designs in critical condition or design hodoh nazak semput tahap kritikal
