Geneva Motor Show: Hyundai i-flow Concept Previews Upcoming i40

One of the highlights of the Geneva Motor Show is Hyundai's i-flow concept, a concept car that previews the D-segment i40 which will be launched early next year. i40 will not inherit the entire design you see on the i-flow concept, but will at least feature the distinctive grille and the sweeping character lines along the front and rear wheel arches.
The i-flow concept also showcases Hyundai's latest energy efficiency technologies and concepts including the stop-start, regenerative braking, the use of solar panels on the roof, an “intelligent” grille that controls the air flow for engine cooling, and an insulated engine that retains heat overnight for starting up the car at freezing temperatures.
These technologies will eventually be made available on production models. For one, i40 will benefit from a stop-start system when it arrives in estate form next year. The sedan, which will be launched six months after the estate, will be styled closer to a “coupe rather than hatchback”, according to Hyundai's chief designer Thomas Burkle; much like the 2011 Hyundai Sonata we suspect?
“Hyundai has a reputation for making cars that are reliable. Now we need emotions”, Burkle added, encapsulating what the i-flow concept represents for Hyundai.
