Hyundai unveils Vision T Plug-in Hybrid SUV Concept

Hyundai has unveiled its latest SUV Concept the Vision T Plug-in Hybrid at 2019 AutoMobility LA.

It is the seventh in a series of Hyundai Design Center concepts expressing Hyundai’s evolving Sensuous Sportiness global design language.

The SUV concept has a matte-green exterior finish and is powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

According to Hyundai, the Vision T side profile conveys a continual sense of speed and forward motion. In contrast to prevailing compact SUV designs, it says Vision T uses crisp geometric angles and edges to create a striking contrast between a sleek silhouette and masculine wedge lines.

At higher speeds, the Vision T’s Parametric Air Shutter actively adjusts both aerodynamics and design. When stationary, the grille is closed and static. Once in motion, each individual cell of the grille design continues to move in a prescribed sequence, controlling airflow to the powertrain, optimising aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.

When the car is started, the dark-chrome matte hue of the integrated hidden signature headlamp system features a half-mirror system that has a chromium appearance which transforms into functional lighting on demand.

The Vision T charging port is located on the passenger side rear quarter panel and features a sliding cover. When charging, “Blue Drive” is illuminated, indicating the system is actively charging. The battery state of charge is also visually indicated externally in a metered, circular light cluster, creating a complete circle appearance when fully charged.
