Picking up where last year’s Hyundai 45 EV Concept left off, the new Prophecy Concept EV redefines the company’s Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy, taking things to the next level, which they’ve dubbed Optimistic Futurism. The company had intended to officially unveil the Prophecy EV at the Geneva Motor Show, though it was canceled. Fortunately, they had given a sneak peek before the event, which you can watch by following the link below. Today, we thought we’d just highlight some of the design cues & features found in the new electric concept vehicle.

On the heels of Hyundai’s announcement that they’ll be focusing on introducing several new hybrid and electric vehicles over the next few years, the brand introduced a few of them right away at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show.

The 2020 Hyundai Vision T Plug-in Hybrid SUV concept introduces not only the next new electrified vehicle for the brand but another new utility vehicle as well. (more…)

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2019
Hyundai always brings an incredible display to the annual SEMA Show each year, and this year is already proving to keep with that trend as Hyundai prepares for the event. This year, the Specialty Equipment Market Association auto show will take place from the 5th to the 8th of November at its usual location, the Las Vegas Convention Center. In preparing for the show, Hyundai engineering teams built two special concept vehicles and then attempted to break the land speed record for their respective categories.
While we don’t carry the NEXO FCEV here at Cocoa Hyundai, it di finish an impressive 106.160 mph run for the hydrogen fuel cell category. The second vehicle, however, was a specially outfitted 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. It finished with a speed of 164.669 in the gas-electric hybrid category. While we wait for FIA homologation to come through, we figured we’d highlight the special specs & features of this Sonata Hybrid concept. (more…)
Is Hyundai making flying cars?
Friday, October 4th, 2019
Bet that wasn’t a question you expected to hear today. But it’s a valid one; because the answer is yes. The idea of flying cars has been around for decades in the form of science fiction, much like self-driving and electric cars. Both of those things are already being implemented, so why not flying cars? Why not, indeed. Hyundai has just opened a new Urban Air Mobility Division to be led by Dr. Jaiwon Shin, who was once the leader NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. So, in short, yeah, Hyundai is making flying cars. (more…)

Is Hyundai Motorsport making an electric race car?
Monday, August 12th, 2019
Electric vehicles have certainly begun spreading throughout the automotive market pretty widely. They aren’t yet on par with hybrid vehicles or anything, but there are enough of them that we can be sure they’re sticking around; however, the auto industry certainly wouldn’t be making an electric race car anytime soon, right? Wrong! Hyundai Motorsport has already begun making an electric race car as they look to thrust motorsports into the future alongside the rest of the auto industry. (more…)
What is the Hyundai LAFESTA?
Monday, April 30th, 2018
If you’ve been searching the internet for Hyundai news, then you might’ve stumbled across a vehicle called the Hyundai LAFESTA. The LAFESTA is a sporty sedan that was built with younger generations of drivers in mind, and certainly took Hyundai’s new design philosophy of “sensuous sportiness” seriously. Unfortunately, the Hyundai LAFESTA was built exclusively for the Chinese market so you won’t be seeing a LAFESTA here in North America. But we thought we’d still give you a peek at it so you can get a sense of what the future might hold for the brand as it continues to adopt the new design philosophy. (more…)
