Hyundai to launch 3 EVs
The Hyundai Prophecy concept will be rival to the Tesla Model 3 and the upcoming BMW i4. The Hyundai’s all three electric vehicles will be based on Hyundai’s new Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) which is likely be used by Kia and Genesis for their own EVs.
SangYup Lee, Hyundai’s head of design, said, “The new EV architecture gives us a long wheelbase and a flat floor, and we’re experimenting with unique USPs and how we will stretch it”. The design of the 45 reflects the 1970s style concept.
Lee said, “It’s not a concept that’s never going to make production. That’s how we like to start. I’m quite happy how close the production version is to the show car, and the same thing applies to the Prophecy, too.”
The Prophecy design is currently being finalised and it begins with the sensuous sportiness. It is inspired by the 1930s streamliners and it looks different from the 45. Hyundai wanted to avoid the Russian-doll approach taken by so many brands.
