Ahead of its eight world debuts at the Geneva Motor Show, Hyundai releases an image of its i-flow HED-7 hybrid concept. The vehicle is a preview to a new sedan that “redefines the perception of space” for D-segment vehicles. .

The concept will be debuting alongside of the revised version of the i30, the Hyundai i30u. The model will go into mass production just after its Geneva debut.

The i-flow is part of Hyundai’s “fluidic sculpture” style theme.  As such, it has an impressive drag coefficient of 0.25, which helps the car run efficiently. Hyundai used a 1.7-liter diesel engine with a two-stage turbo charger, six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and an unspecified electric motor paired to a Lithium Ion-Polymer battery. Combined with the low drag coefficient, the car produces a scant 85 grams of CO2 per kilometer, while using just 3 liters of fuel per 100km (78mpg US / 94mpg imp).

Inside, seats and center console have been crafted in collaboration with BASF for minimal weight and volume. The cabin is centered on “an expansive, contoured screen, which recognizes not only touch but also gestural inputs along its fascia-wide display,” according to a press release. Outside, BASF’s “Liquid Metal” coats the vehicle.

The i30u meanwhile will show changes to design and performance, but as to what are the specifics, Hyundai have yet to disclose. Additionally, Hyundai will show off a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle of the ix35/Tucson, and five efficient Blue Drive versions of the i10, i20, i30, i30cw, and the ix35.
