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.
