Hyundai future products: New entries seek upscale niches

Hyundai will continue to enter new product segments, including upscale niches, while keeping lower-priced models fresh over the next three years. The Veloster sporty coupe will join the lineup this fall, and a turbocharged version comes next summer. A redesigned Azera sedan debuts in the final weeks of this year, and a two-door Elantra will go on sale next spring.

Mazda Minagi concept

Mazda is set to reveal a new concept at the 81st Geneva motor show in March. Called the Minagi, the concept previews a new entry-level compact crossover, which will likely be called the CX-5 when it makes its production debut in Frankfurt later this year. The compact SUV is alleged to 'fully embrace' both Mazda’s Skyactiv technologies as well as the Kodo design language that debuted on the Shinari concept late last year.

Kia CUB concept

Kia gave its new CUB concept its official debut at this week's Seoul Auto Show. The B-segment five-door hatchback was designed at Kia's Namyang Design Center in Hwaseong, South Korea, under the direction of the carmaker's president and chief design officer Peter Schreyer and is less than 4 meters long. Developed as the latest study into Kia's B- and C-segment future models following last year's Trackster concept and the Provo concept unveiled earlier this month at the Geneva show, there are a number of design features taken from the 2007 Kia Kee 2+2 concept.
