I'm honestly curious why you think that. Can you please elaborate. I'm really not trying to be argumentative here.
As far as I can see, they have just copied others, with some small tweaks. The aesthetic ones are unreasonably offensive to me, but the technical ones don't seem to be terribly innovative, or huge leaps, and seem to bite them in the ass, a lot.
I'd argue the Mazda supercharged 2 stroke with low load compression self ignition) or, I can't believe I'm saying this, Nissan variable compression ratio engine of the world, who are experimenting with alterative techs, even for ICE, are leaps an bounds above Hyundai.
I typed something up but it looks like it didn't post. I think we're saying two different things.
I'm talking specifically about the design language that you don't like. The EV9 and the new Sante Fe, the Santa Cruz, the hatch IONIQ5 and even the divisive IONIQ6. I love those designs. They feel unique and bold. I would put them among some of my favorite designs of major, non-exotic manufacturers. Clearly just personal opinion but I feel like they've put out hit after hit on design, compared to whatever the hell BMW is doing as an example.
I can't really say anything about their engine design or internal components. I'm ignorant there. I'm saying I find myself intrigued by Hyundai in spite of their terrible track record because of the design language.
Honestly the N Vision 74 is one of my favorite looking cars of the last decade. Bring on the 80s retrofuturism please!
This is exactly the car I've been wanting. It captures the "dream" for me.
