Hyundai debuts its 'Hexa Space' multi-purpose vehicle concept

Hyundai Motor Company have held the world premier of its newest concept, a multi-purpose vehicle called 'Hexa Space' at the Auto Expo 2012 in New Delhi. This new concept revolutionizes the use of interior space.

Hexa Space, codenamed HND-7 carried Hyundai's Fluidic Sculpture' design language which includes bold character lines on the side panels.

The vehicle features eight slim, hexagonally shaped seats that fit together like puzzle pieces, making the most use of inside space while minimising vehicle width.

The seats offer multiple configurations - centre ones fold flat for greater comfort, the second row folds flat for more space while the back row also can fold flat for light-cargo use. In addition, seven seats fold flat for heavy hauling and all eight fold flat if you want to camp out in the vehicle. Rear doors lift out and slide back, creating wide-open entry on each side.

Hexa Space shares a platform with Hyundai's compact ix20, and is powered by the marque's Kappa 1.2 turbo GDI engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

The car is aimed at urban families in their 30s and 40s, with a demanding lifestyle in the bustling cities of the world's emerging economies.
