Hyundai Curb Concept at Detroit

Hyundai Curb Concept - on show at Detroit

Whatever your opinion about Hyundai - and Kia, for that matter – we’d bet that it’s changed in the last few years. From dismissing Hyundai as the Lada for our age, you’ve probably come to accept, as have we, that they are churning out cars that deserve a place in the market.

Hyundai’s offerings may not be up your street – you may prefer something with a posher badge – but what’s on offer with Hyundai’s latest models does need to be considered alongside much of the best from Japan, if you’re looking to buy in that market.

From the little Hyundai i10 through the very convincing ix35 and on to the yet-to-be-released i40, Hyundai are covering most of the bases. But they don’t yet have a mini crossover; an i10 for the urban jungle; a Korean Juke. But that’s about to change.

There’s a distinct lack of information available beyond the photos at the top, but the Hyundai Curb is a small crossover concept very much in the Juke mould. A few years ago we would have said the outside was almost comic-book concept, but after the Juke made the cut almost unchanged from the Qazana Concept it’s probably wise to consider the Curb could well turn up for sale in 2012 substantially as it will appear in Detroit. Apart from the inside. Which is very ‘Concepty’.

Look out Nissan.
