The latest incarnation has brought these two, well in line with the new breed of Hyundai cars bearing the brand’s latest design philosophy called ‘Sensuous Sportiness’. According to Hyundai, all of its future designs including sedans & SUVs will be embodied by this design theme. Defined by the harmony between four of the fundamental elements- proportion, architecture, styling and technology, its aim is to bring instinctive beauty and create emotional value and desirability in Hyundai vehicles.
