South Korean manufacturer Hyundai has unveiled its new multi-purpose vehicle ‘Hexa Space‘ concept at the Auto Expo in New Delhi. The most distinctive feature of the vehicle is that it boasts seating for eight passengers, and all the seats are shaped hexagonally in order to optimize the space in the cabin. The Hexa Space concept measures 4,300 mm in length, 1,820 mm in width and 1,647 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,750 mm, and is powered by Hyundai’s Kappa 1.2-litre turbo GDI engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The model adopts Hyundai’s characteristic “Fluidic Sculpture” design language and uses an innovative sliding rear doors system that makes it easier to entry, exit and load the vehicle. The seats offer multiple configurations for seating: center seats fold flat for greater comfort, the second row folds flat to create a limousine function and the back row folds flat for light-cargo use. In addition, seven seats fold flat for heavy hauling and all eight fold flat for camping. According to Hyundai, the Hexa Space is aimed at young urban families in the 30-40 age group that need their vehicles to serve many purposes.
