Hyundai ix-onic concept car – 2009 Geneva Motor Show
March 3, 2009 by Alborz Fallah
Hyundai has just unveiled it’s all new ix-onic concept car at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. Although most of us associate Hyundai as a Korean company, the ix-onic was styled at the company’s European Design headquarters in Rüsselsheim, Germany.
Hyundai say the concept is a a new approach to compact 4×4 SUVs. The concept measures 4,400mm in length, 1,850mm-wide and 1,650mm-high.
The vehicle is powered by a 125kW 1.6-litre GDi turbocharged, four-cylinder petrol engine, with ISG (Idle Stop & Go) technology. Additionally Hyundai are showing off their double-clutch six-speed transmission as well. Interestingly, we should expect everyday Hyundais to be equipped with this transmission in due time.
The 1.6-litre engine only emits 149 g/km of CO2. Hyundai will also show off the new three-door Hyundai i20 derivative and the i30 Blue model.
Looks good.. its very similar to the new Ford Kuga which is reportedly due to make its way To Australia by the end of the year if not next year.. [hopefully it's better than the Cougar]
After looking at images of both cars from all angles [inside and out] I prefer the look of the Hyundai.
Too right Nutter.
