Spotted somewhere in India wearing very little camouflage, the car is production-ready. Sporting the Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture design is fronted by a bold hexagonal grille, sharp projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights and boomerang shaped foglight enclosures completes the front end design. At the rear of the camo’ed test mule, one might be able to notice the subtle lip spoiler poking out from beneath.

Compared to the existing model, the new sedan longer by 20 mm, wider by 25 mm and taller by 5 mm. On the inside, highlights include hints of the Genesis and Sonata in design with soft-touch materials, dash buttons grouped according to functions and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with satellite navigation and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration compatibility.
