Hyundai teases all-new model before Frankfurt debut

The 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show isn’t set to take place until September, but Hyundai has already begun teasing an all-new model that will make its debut at the event. According to the Korean carmaker, the mysterious model will be part of its European line-up, and there’s also a sketch to give us a very vague idea of what it will be.

Based on what is shown to us, the model will feature a “floating” roof thanks to a blacked-out pillar that is pinched at the top and bottom for a more dynamic profile. Whether this is applied on a hatchback or crossover body remains to be seen, but the positioning of the taillight close to the rear door does suggest a compact offering.

In its release, Hyundai says it’s inviting customers to “go big” with its new model, which will offer new exterior and interior design, as well as plenty of connectivity and safety features to make it a leader in its class.

Just what this class is, no one knows, but it’s rumoured the new model will be a small crossover positioned below the Kona. Given the Venue, which is indeed smaller than the Kona, is not currently planned to come to Europe, this is certainly a possibility. Of course, we’ll only know more in the months leading up to the Frankfurt Motor Show to find out.

    Later, when Hyundai got lots of recalls, people will start to have lots of injuries. This will absolutely regret if people will buy Hyundai

    • 6 Hondas no problems ever! My First Hyundai (Santa Fe Turbo)Purchased in November 2018. Engine failed in April 5th 2019 engine on back order. July 10th still dont have my “new” Santa fe. Paying monthly payments on a SUV I haven’t had for months! So I’m paying for my crappy Sonata Loaner that is 1/2 the price of my Santa Fe. I will never buy a Hyundai Again!!

        True bro. No need to bring more Hyundai Models to Malaysia. Hyundai Malaysia will close down soon.
