At a glance
Hyundai Prophecy Concept EV: Design
The Prophecy features a sporty silhouette with a minimalistic facade that houses pixel headlights and seamlessly merges with the mid-section. The windscreen melts into the roof that tapers to meet the boat-tail rear section, which also has pixel lights. The fluid design also provides excellent aerodynamics, with propeller-like alloys drawn in air and allowing it to flow down the side of the body.
Interiors
Inside the cabin
The Prophecy gets Rolls Royce-like Coach doors that open to make way for four passengers. The dashboard is nothing like we have seen before, with the front section entirely covered with screens. There is no steering wheel either, just a couple of joysticks that will be used to navigate the car (if not in the autonomous mode) and perform other functions.
Information
No specifications have been revealed by the company
Since the Prophecy is just a concept model as of now, Hyundai has not shared any details about its performance. Sure, it will be powered by electric motors and batteries but we don't have details about its range, top speed, and power figures.
