Fountain Valley, California - Like virtually all concept cars, Hyundai's new Vision G Concept gives us a glimpse of the design language that we'll see on future products, but more specifically, this one hints at what's to come from the company's premium Genesis-badged cars.
While the concept was designed with input from design studios from around the world, the project was led by Hyundai's US design team, with the idea that (in Hyundai's words): "you don't need to be over the top in terms of glitz and stereotypical luxury cues".
The car embodies what Hyundai calls "respectful luxury" which we see in the 'valet style' automatically-opening driver's door and the elegant lines and finishes in the cabin.
This sleek two-door could certainly be the blueprint for the next-generation Genesis coupé, that's presuming that Hyundai isn't planning on a more upscale coupé to slot above it.
The concept is certainly promising beneath the bonnet, where you'll find a normally-aspirated direct-injection 5-litre V8 engine, good for 313kW.
