Hyundai ix-ONIC Concept
Hyundai is following in the line of their i-Concept cars with a new Crossover design model – Hyundai ix-ONIC. Also known as the Hyundai HED-6 ix-ONIC, this small SUV looking mystery machine has a more modern look than many of Hyundai’s previous concepts, combining the utility of a Tuscon with the usability of a Elantra or Accent.
Under the hood is an all-new 1.6-liter GDi turbocharged engine, which produces 175 horse power. It’s connected to a six-speed automatic transmission that was developed by Hyundai engineers. A large hatchback such as this reminds many in the crowd of Pontiac’s Vibe or Toyota’s Matrix. We’ll see how consumers react if and what the ix-ONIC goes on sale in 2010.
