New Delhi: A new Hyundai SUV has been spied testing on Mumbai’s roads. This SUV seems to be an all-new model that has yet to be identified. The spy shots of the latest Hyundai SUV show an upright stance and boxy design, with thick MRF tyres and what appear to be 16-inch dual-tone diamond-cut alloy wheels, giving it a requisite muscly look. The SUV has flared wheel arches, bulges that look like plastic body cladding around the wheel arches, flush-fitting door handles, a thick C-pillar, a funky-looking rear spoiler with the stop lamp, and LED taillights in a dotted pattern that are reminiscent of the Ioniq 5.
Other discernible details include a shark-fin antenna, black roof rails, a blacked-out window line that curves upwards at the rear, and a flat tailgate that merges into the beefy-looking rear bumper, which houses the number plate. There are no more details of the Hyundai SUV’s interior; a few details of note were a sizable digital instrument cluster and an infotainment touchscreen. Further, the nodules on the outside rear-view mirrors indicate that it is fitted with the 360-degree camera.
The latest SUV could be the muscular model with off-road capabilities that Hyundai teased in its investor presentation in October last year. That model, which was teased alongside an MPV, is likely to be the latest monocoque SUV with an all-wheel-drive system. On the other hand, this SUV could also be Hyundai’s version of the Kia EV2, which is the sister Korean brand’s smallest all-electric car.
