Hyundai today released the first image and details of its Nuvis concept that will make its debut at the 2009 New York Auto Show next week. The Hyundai Nuvis concept is the 11th concept car designed by the company California Design Center in Irvine, California.

“In addition to showcasing the brand’s cutting-edge capabilities, Nuvis also hints at a possible design direction for a future-generation crossover, blending attributes of a tall urban car and a premium utility vehicle,” Hyundai said in a press release.

We’ll bring you all the details and live images from the 2009 New York Auto Show next week.

Hyundai's got a concept hatch in store for New York, and Autoblog reader Aaron spotted it on the street and was kind enough to snap a few photos for us.


We have no details on the car itself yet, but as you can see, it's a hatchback/crossover type-thing whose styling is in keeping with the more dramatic design language that the company's show cars have been using of late. Giant gullwing doors ought to give everyone a nice, clear view of the interior, which we suspect will be of a similarly eye-popping nature.

We'll get more details as soon as we can – likely in the next couple of days in the ramp-up to the concept's New York Auto Show debut. For now, feast your eyes on the three photos in the gallery below. Thanks, Aaron! Nice catch.

Neat...but tired of the CUV's.

I didn't see much point in posting this thread concerning the Novis before it's office debut until I came across the spy shot caught on camera phone where you can clearly see the profile of the concept. IMO, it's looks good. It's small, sleek and athletic looking. I'm sure it'll have plenty of luxury touches. My guess is, moving forward, Hyundai will continue to position themselves upmarket, rebranding themselves as a premium maker of cars, like Volkswagen. That'll also help distance themselves from Kia, which I think will become more mainstream.

Might be a concept for the next Tucson?

Intersting shape... the Concept doesn't seem to have a rear view glass.
