Hyundai's Vision T concept looks towards the next Tucson at the LA Auto Show
Transcript
No, it's always cool to see what automakers bring as concepts to these auto shows.
And here at the LA show, Hyundai is giving us a hint at what the next generation Tucson is gonna look like with the vision t concept.
Now what first stands out is the grill.
A lot of these Angular panels in here are actually active grille shutters that are gonna open when the car gets to speed.
And I really dig on the headlights.
They look like they're hidden when they're off but you turn them on and they're kind of part of the grill.
It's a really good design element.
Now the body itself well there's a lot of creases are a lot of sculptural elements.
This is all part of what Hyundai calls its sensual sportiness design all the which parametric fantasy and transcendent connectivity, our part I mean I really have no idea what that means.
All I know is that the Vision T looks really really good.
Now when you compare it to the current Tucson, the Vision T is a little bit longer about five inches longer.
So if these proportions remain the same, I expect the next gen Tucson to be more of the size of the current Santa Fe The only thing we know about the powertrain is that it is a plug-in hybrid.
And that makes sense.
Hyundai has said that it wants to bring 13 electrified vehicles to market by 2020, so I'm sure that the next generation [UNKNOWN] will have some kind of electrification on it.
However, we have no idea when that is going to drop.
But if it looks anything like this Vision T concept, I think I'm gonna be a fan.
