The future is today.
We are ready.
Prophecy
In line with Hyundai’s “Sensuous Sportiness” design philosophy, the new concept embodies a beautiful silhouette accentuated by graceful curves flowing over broad rear flanks that provide excellent aerodynamics. The boat-tail line is complemented by pixel lamp taillights. ‘Prophecy’ does not follow trends. It accentuates timeless beauty that will stand the test of time. The name “Prophecy” reflects the concept’s purpose, defining the direction of future Hyundai designs, while establishing itself as a design icon for Hyundai’s EV lineup. The visionary concept is expanding on the era-defining example set by last year’s “45” concept EV with its clean lines and minimalistic structures. The application of Hyundai’s Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy is evident in the voluptuous side section which is cut by a clean and simple One Curve streamline. This underlines the timelessness of its design. Furthermore, the design provides excellent aerodynamics, a characteristic indispensable to EVs. The propeller shapes embedded in the vehicle’s wheel compel air to be drawn in and flow down the side of the body like water over a stone. The rear spoiler complements this effect by harnessing downforce that aids vehicle stability. The transparent acrylic material provides a clear view of the functional components inside. This intentional design feature is calling attention to the functional beauty of the components. Prophecy’s identity as an EV extends to the underbodywhere wide air intake takes fresh air to cool the batteries more effectively. The interior of “Prophecy” is not a conventional automotive interior but a lifestyle space of refinement and comfort which provides customers with a warm welcome. “Prophecy” also utilises autonomous driving technology. Instead of a steering wheel, joysticks provide a completely new driving experience. Design changes that have been enabled by the use of joysticks offer more visual freedom to passengers. In a comfortably position, all that the passengers see the horizontal pillar-to-pillar display and are are able to enjoy content shown on the display. The name “Prophecy” reflects the concept’s purpose, as it signifies a bright future for both Hyundai’s designs as well as innovative mobility solutions for the EV customers of tomorrow.

45
Hyundai looks forward but never forgets the past. We learn from our history, we value our heritage. The 45 pays homage to our heritage.
We challenge status quo
When Hyundai introduced its new model Pony in 1974 it stood up to the bustling order that many thought was the only way forward. And nothing has changed about this till nowadays. We challenge status quo today just as we did it back then.
Hyundai 45
The diamond-shaped silhouette set at 45-degrees was formed for aerodynamics. The new icon features a dynamic fastback profile, long wheel-base, short overhangs, and big wheels. Pure mass, sharp lines.Together, it creates an engaging tension and a character that is purely sensual. As a progressive EV, the technologies can be seen visibly in 45’s design, as shown in new technologies such as Camera Mirror System (CMS) was designed as a feature that matches the side character of the 45 and is placed at a position that allows for most efficiency or full cover type wheel with multi-spoke uniformly spaced and architectural patterns which eliminate resistance of air.
Concept 45 continuous in spirit of Sensual Sportiness introduced by Le Fil Rouge concept. ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ is the evolving direction of Hyundai design. ‘Sensuous’ stands for enhanced emotional values that customers can experience through design, and ‘Sportiness is the determination to implement those values through innovative mobility solutions. Our mission is to discover the perfect harmony between emotion and function. Design adds emotional value to products through customer experience-oriented design, helping Hyundai to become a beloved brand from customers.
Le Fil Rouge
The Le Fil Rouge concept winds up like a red thread and shows that Hyundai never forgets its past, accepts it and learns from it. The DNA of the Le Fil Rouge concept comes from the 1974 Hyundai Coupe Concept and builds on a long history of creating cars with a distinctive and sporty character. Le Fil Rouge brings the latest manufacturer’s approach called “Sensual Sportiness”. It is based on four basic pillars: Proportion, Architecture, Style and Technology.
Proportions
Le Fil Rouge fully respects the rules of golden ratio. Inspired by natural laws, this mathematical rule allows creators to create a car with a strong charisma.
Architecture
Le Fil Rouge is built in a new style of “Light Architecture” in an effort to incorporate this new style into the heritage of the brand. The result is a dynamic look. The interior of the vehicle creates a sense of peace and safety.
Style
No matter how different, Le Fil Rouge must still be perfectly identifiable as a Hyundai car among hundreds of other cars. This is why this concept clearly shows the unifying elements with other Hyundai cars, such as the typical cascade mask.
Technology
The basic designer’s principle has been and always is to allow perfectly smooth operation of all technologies. That is why we find technologies inspired by the aviation industry in this car, state-of-the-art technologies, but also wooden materials for perfect comfort of the crew.
