2008 Geneva Auto Show Preview: Hyundai HED-5 Concept

    0 Ratings
    GENEVA — Hyundai Motor will unveil a six-passenger concept called the HED-5 that provides strong clues as to a future crossover vehicle the Korean automaker may launch in Europe.

    Hyundai said it will also pull the wraps off a face-lifted Matrix, a compact crossover that's sold in the home market as the Lavita, as well as a new range of low-emissions models that will be sold in Europe with the Eco-Dynamic label.

    The company provided few details on the HED-5, other than to say it will employ "revolutionary materials and construction techniques...developed in cooperation with partners such as Recaro, Bayer and LG."

    The Matrix — not to be confused with Toyota's North American compact of the same name — gets a modest update to its exterior design, plus a revised interior.

    The Eco-Dynamic line boasts a number of environmentally friendly technologies, to reduce CO2 emissions and improve fuel economy.

    What this means to you: Could we see a production version of the HED-5 on this side of the pond? — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
