Hyundai i-oniq concept to be unveiled in Geneva

i-oniq concept to point the way forward for Hyundai styling.

Hyundai has given us our first glimpse of the shape of things to come from the Korean car maker with a single teaser shot of the new i-oniq concept car. Said to preview the next evolution of the brand's 'fluidic sculpture' form language the concept will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

Designed and developed at the company's European R&D centre in Rüsselsheim, Germany the long bonnet and swooping roofline would appear to point towards a large coupé but it is unclear whether or not the i-oniq will evolve into a production model, especially as the Hyundai Veloster is so new.

Describing the i-oniq, Thomas Bürkle, Hyundai's European Chief Designer, said, "Two strong arched curves define the silhouette of i-oniq, creating a playful contrast between the sharp character lines and soft but muscular features."

More information about i-oniq will be revealed ahead of its world premiere at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.
