Checkered Flag Hyundai
fans know that Hyundai can pull off different. The Hyundai Veloster,
which some called "too futuristic," has quickly become a fan favorite.
And now, our
Virginia Beach Hyundai store has an out-of-this-world crossover vehicle to look forward to in the coming years.
Hyundai readying Juke rival with 'edgy, dynamic styling' for 2017By Noah JosephLove
it or hate it, the Nissan Juke has drawn attention to itself and to its
maker. Little wonder, then, that Hyundai wants to follow a similar
formula.
According to our compatriots over at Edmunds, Hyundai
has a whole raft of new products in the works - as you'd expect from the
world's fourth-largest automaker - including replacements for the
current Tucson and Elantra sometime next year, but also a subcompact
crossover to target the Juke, not to mention tiny softroading rivals
like the forthcoming Chevrolet Trax. Details at this point are few and
far between, but it appears Hyundai is committed to making it as zany as
the Nissan it will target. The Korean automaker revealed the Curb
concept (pictured above) along similar lines at the 2011 Detroit Auto
Show.
Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski tells Edmunds not to expect a
mini Tuscon, but to "Think of maybe something that looks like a Juke or
something that has edgy, dynamic styling." Considering how off-the-map
Hyundai went with the Veloster and its unconventional array of doors, we
know the Korean automaker can think outside the box for this Gen-Y
crossover. Whether the edge tiny CUV market has space for more than the
Juke, however, is another matter. One way or another, look for the tiny
Korean crossover to arrive sometime in 2017.
