Prophecy, that's what the concept of the new sporty electric saloon from Hyundai looks like

This year’s Geneva Motor Show will host the presentation of this enigmatic concept from Hyundai. It is called Prophecy and has become the prototype of a sporty electric saloon from the brand. Furthermore, this vehicle has gone further and evolved the design language to achieve a “sensuous sportiness”.

Hyundai will present a new electric concept car at the Geneva Motor Show next month, anticipating the company’s future design language.

Appropriately named Prophecy, the concept has been shown in a rendering that illustrates how the new design language ‘Sensuous Sportiness‘ of Hyundai will evolve, first seen on the radical Le Fil Rouge concept in 2018.

The image appears to show the rear of the new car, and we can see it will feature vertically oriented brake lights, a curved light bar wrapping around the rear windscreen, a steeply sloping roofline and curved wheel arches that protrude from the main body.

Sangyup Lee, head of Hyundai’s global design centre, has stated that the “iconic design of the new Prophecy is to expand the design spectrum of Hyundai towards even wider horizons”. Hyundai has confirmed it has no plans to launch a production-ready version at this early stage, but this car is likely to be closely related to the company’s new 45 Concept , which is currently being adapted for sale in 2021.

The Hyundai Prophecy will join a facelifted version of Hyundai’s i30 hatchback and a completely new version of the i20 city car in Geneva. Both are designed to feature new and bold design elements and a series of technological updates.

Hyundai will also use its Geneva stand to showcase its electrification strategy, which it has named “Real progress is in the air”. Earlier this week, Hyundai and its sister brand KIA announced a new partnership with the Californian electric vehicle start-up Canoo, which will see the companies jointly develop a range of “autonomy-ready” vehicles on a new bespoke electric vehicle platform.

Hyundai makes it very clear that the progress of humanity is a very important mission in its philosophy, and that it is ready to take on that future which seems so evident in science fiction films. They explain it this way: “but people expect more, and Hyundai has become a provider of intelligent mobility solutions“.

“While we could have focused on simply using the best technology to build prototypes for the most eye-catching car to date, we knew it was more important to focus on the future of humanity“.

And that is why of all the presentations Hyundai has unveiled recently. They pursue a model of city in which mobility is an important part of the development of its citizens, in every aspect. And they ask “how can mobility solutions be created that are worthy of its dynamic and diverse residents?”.
