Hyundai Venus concept exterior and interior details
Sedan inspired by the planet Venus and gets sharp exterior design
Hyundai says that the Venus sedan concept takes inspiration from the planet Venus. This is done by giving it a ‘Radiant Gold’ paint job. The front-end features slim LED DRLs that represent two halves of the letter ‘H’ along with an illuminated Hyundai badge. The bumper gets a sharp design with a wide air vent and a black finish for the splitter. The frame-structured roof is lightweight and is characterised by a single curve. The alloy wheels get a dual-tone finish, and the rear-end gets a transparent spoiler.
On the inside, the wraparound cabin adopts a grey colour scheme along with gold accents and stitching. There's a squared-off three-spoke steering gets a column-mounted gear lever, and the dashboard is dominated by a large infotainment screen that also doubles up as a passenger display. The seats feature suede upholstery with chrome gold highlights, and the high-set centre console features two wireless phone charging pads and storage spaces.
Hyundai says that the Venus concept was developed for the Chinese market. There's no confirmation about the arrival of a production-spec on our roads, and currently, the carmaker only sells the Ioniq 5 in our market. However, its facelift is expected to launch in the coming months, and a camouflaged test mule was recently spied on our roads.
