The Hyundai Grandeur Heritage Series EV Concept, one of the coolest EV car designs

Love this thing. The only thing I don't like about it is all the touchscreen junk. It would have been cooler with a bunch of sliders and knobs like an old console stereo. Like, forty sliders and six knobs

Would have been a great fit with some suicide doors too.

touchscreens are a bad idea in cars anyway, you need physical feedback in order to control things while paying attention to the road

I agree. The dashboard and center console don't really fit the aesthetics.

It needs recessed displays which are not visible when off, some aircraft inspired buttons/dials/switches and maybe a heads up display.

Yeah but since it’s a full display you can go absolutely nuts with a pixelated 4-bit graphics gauge cluster

I love this car. . . I want this car. . . I need this car

Coolest designs? Oh my word - it's a sad K-Car Chrysler New Yorker from 1987!!!

They could sell this exactly as is and it would be a great thing. The headlights and taillights may have to be tweaked but I’d bet this would sell.

Release tomorrow and I’ll buy yesterday.

I really love this style and I hope they bring it back.

Phasnyc@reddit

Always liked this design. Looks exactly like a fifth generation Mitsubishi Galant Sigma.

I had one of these, with the blue velour seats, manual transmission and V6 - one of my favorite cars until the motor died after 333,000 miles

Looks like a cross between like a 1983 Toyota Camry and an 87-91 Sterling 825.

Hmm, on the outside, and even much of the inside, it’s like a 1980’s Chrysler. And then all of a sudden there’s that long LED screen / panel. Jarring contrast of styles there. Almost like time ran out on the project and they had to get something in there quick.

I don't get the excitement. While I love retro designs, this looks like an 80's Toyota Crown, a Chrysler New Yorker, and an Eagle Premier had a polyamorous love child.

Those sci-fi elements like the lights make it really neat

JCDU@reddit

Hyundai are fucking killing it right now. That N74 concept and now this? Yes please.

[-]

RatInaMaze@reddit

I’ve been saying they need to bring back remade vintage cars for ages. I want 101 Dalmatians cars.

[-]

EX0PIL0T@reddit

Restomod builds aren’t honestly the most difficult project. Pretty cheap too as long as you take your time and do things right

[-]

JCDU@reddit

And donor Teslas for EV swaps are getting reaaaaal cheap now for some reason...

[-]

galoluscus@reddit

Looks like a K-car copy.

[-]

JARDIS@reddit

I really fuck with this. More car companies should do classic reruns or refreshed runs like this EV. We really want classic cars re-released, but what we always get is another Skyrim re-release.

[-]

whoopsiedoodle77@reddit

fuuuuuuck I wish they had the guts to actually make this

[-]

3amGreenCoffee@reddit

It's sort of neat in an ironic way, but the period in car design that car is intended to evoke was called the Malaise Era for a reason.

[-]

smokeydonkey@reddit

That is such a villainous looking car, I love it so much.

[-]

chambee@reddit

Men In Black vibe.

[-]

SovietTriumph@reddit

can this really be considered as 'EV car design' when its essentially just a restomodded converted mitsubishi

[-]

recumbent_mike@reddit

It could be, because I would literally be willing to murder one auto industry executive a month until this came to market.

[-]

EX0PIL0T@reddit

I’m pretty sure wishing violence on the mentally handicapped is frowned upon

[-]

SovietTriumph@reddit

i don't think they can without cooperating with mitsubishi

[-]

ExtensionLive2502@reddit

my partner doesn’t really care about cars or car design & this concept really got him. he wistfully brings it up like every other month & has since he first saw it. I feel bad he’ll never get the only car he actually likes ᴖ̈

[-]

Particular_Dot_2063@reddit

I'm curious... What about this does he like? Is it the visual styling, the fact that it's an EV or both at the same time? Because if its just styling, then this is what alot of 80s sedans looked like and it would be easy to buy one today and repair it for less than $10k

[-]

ExtensionLive2502@reddit

both the styling and it being an EV - and especially the front and rear lights!

[-]

MoparMonkey1@reddit (OP)

it’s a shame, I hope Hyundai really does decide to put this in production. I personally do not like many EVs, but this I would 100% drive
