In the Nuvis, an extra-wide opening on each side sheds light upon a four-place interior that unusually needs three rows to accommodate. Also concept car like is a control panel mostly devoid of switchgear, with all controls available via iPod-like touch-sensitive smooth surfaces, similar in concept to Fisker’s new Karma sedan. Cabin fabrics are made from 100-percent recycled materials, fitting for a vehicle with such a future-think drivetrain.
Hyundai, a conservative company when it comes to drivetrain innovation, uses the Nuvis to show off the latest iteration of its BlueHybrid system, first introduced at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November of last year. A battery pack made from advanced lithium polymer cells makes sure that it’s not only state-of-the-art but also as environmentally friendly as the newest technologies allow.
The production version of Hyundai’s BlueHybrid system will debut next year in the next-gen Sonata, and in the future is expected to enhance the brand’s more popular models, such as Santa Fe.
As for the Nuvis, enjoy the much less radical upcoming Tucson when it arrives next year. It’s more mainstream for sure, but nevertheless incorporates the core design elements that make this concept so attractive from (almost) every angle, while cleaning up the more potentially controversial characteristics.
