Hyundai has released the first official image, a sketch, of the HED-6 Concept ahead of its scheduled debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. A collaboration of design from Hyundai's European facilities in major cities such as Berlin, London, and Paris, the HED-6 Concept previews the next-generation Tucson crossover, code-named LM.
The exterior will feature a hexagonal grille, angular style lines, and a pair of sweeping back front headlights. The concept will ride on 21-inch wheels, which will never reach the production model, and incorporate dual exhaust tips. The three-dimensional sculpted shape of the rear window is achieved by not using regular glass, but Lexan plastics. Under the hood is Hyundai's new 175 horsepower 1.6L GDi turbodiesel engine, and is coupled to the automaker's new in-house developed 6-speed automatic transmission.
