Hyundai's showing for the 2013 Detroit Auto Show was a very unique concept named the HCD-14 Genesis. While the concept isn't quite the real deal, it gives us some clues of what to expect.
The overall design is very much a classic concept car with a almost vertical front end, large grille, and rear-hinged doors. Aside from those dream features, the HCD-14 does feature some design cues that might end up on the next Genesis like hard-edged body creases running along the side of the car and the coupe-like roofline running all the way to the end of vehicle.
Other features to take note are a heads-up display, hand-gesture recognition system, and a system that's able to track a driver's eyes to select options in various vehicle functions. Hyundai promises improved driving dynamics with the HCD-14 by providing a more rigid chassis, driver-selectable settings for various conditions, and a 5.0L direct-injected V8 paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
