Hyundai has just unveiled the Intrado concept which represents the company's first product to be developed under the direction of Peter Schreyer.
Set to debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the Intrado demonstrates Hyundai’s belief that advanced vehicle technologies and intelligent design can combine to engage more effectively with driver and passengers.
The exterior styling presents a progressive interpretation of the company’s established fluidic sculpture form language with a focus on aerodynamic efficiency and minimal detailing. The body panels are made of advanced super lightweight steel from Hyundai’s steel plant.
Meanwhile, the interior is defined by a focus on usability and adaptability and draws attention to its advanced materials. Components that are usually concealed are highlighted, including see-through air vents and exposed frame onto which the seats clip directly. It benefits from a central carbon frame structure made by using new patent-pending manufacturing and joining techniques that together have the potential to change the way cars are made.
The Hyundai Intrado concept is powered by a next-generation hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain which utilises a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery. Refueled in just a few minutes, the model has a range of up to 600 km and emits only water.
