Hyundai Sonata Design
The ‘Le Fil Rouge’ is a concept car that showcases all the principles underlying Hyundai’s Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy. The design elements exemplified within the concept is reflected in Hyundai’s current and future model lineup including the recent 2021 Hyundai Elantra.
The all-new Hyundai Sonata features a massive signature Cascading Grille, which according to Hyundai, is inspired by the flow of molten metal contained within a blast furnace when combined with the elegant lines of classical Korean pottery. Innovative design features like the gradient hidden light technology, allows the LED daytime running light to be brightly lit when ON and appears to be part of the chrome trims when OFF. Also featured are a pair of functioning integrated side air curtains on the lower bumper.
The chrome strip runs across the entire bonnet and continues to the side of the car along the belt lines. A strong shoulder line coupled with a slopping roof line gives the car its fastback silhouette like the Volkswagen Arteon. The 18-inch multi-spoke dual-tone alloy wheel complements the elegant side profile.
At the rear, the boot lid features an integrated spoiler lip along with a slim horizontal rear LED combination lamp that runs across the boot, giving it a wide and stable stance. Right underneath the horizontal LED light, you will find the ‘Sonata’ brand inscription. Chrome accent is minimal at the rear with a single chrome strip running across the rear diffuser.
