The Hyundai i-flow Concept Making its global debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. It’s sports sedan with width and height (1.850mm and 1.420mm respectively) give it an athletic stance. Hyundai’s first diesel hybrid powertrain is also a key factor in delivering such an environmentally-conscious return.
Judging from its name, the name i-flow reflects the exceptionally aerodynamic shape and the flowing lines of the concept car’s eye-catching styling. These unique proportions are complemented by the long tail and the short front overhang, features which were inspired by aerodynamic motives. In addition, the impression of sporty futuristic look at futuristic front and rear light elements are cradled like sparkling jewels within the car’s flowing planes, and the signature Hyundai hexagonal grille completes the frontal aspect.
The interior of Hyundai i-flow Concept redefines the perception of space in a sedan bodystyle. The seats and center console, were crafted for minimal weight and volume using cutting-edge materials from BASF. The upper dashboard, meanwhile, is treated with Elastoskin, a sprayed skin from BASF for a sophisticated, shimmering finish. In addition, B-pillarless doors allow comfortable ingress and egress for passengers.
The car uses efficient aerodynamics, energy harvesting technologies and weight-saving materials to significantly undercut the current average for a D-segment sedan. Its extraordinary CO2 emissions level of just 85g/km. Furthermore, the company’s first diesel-electric hybrid powertrain runs the exciting new U2 1,7-liter engine augmented by two-stage turbocharging and Hyundai’s Lithium Ion-Polymer battery to give a very efficient and advanced combination, particularly when partnered with Hyundai i-flow Concept’s six-speed, dual-clutch transmission.
