Korean automaker [Hyundai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-vision-fk-concept) is set to unveil its latest car, the Blue2, at the upcoming Seoul Motor Show. You might be wondering what specifically makes the Hyundai Blue2 so special; the Hyundai Blue2 is a a [hybrid hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogen-cartridges) that is said to average around 82.1 mpg.

In addition to being eco-savvy, the Blue2 (pronounced blue squared) is also tech-savvy, boasting [door video cameras instead of mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interoid-ev) and LED panels in the front and rear displaying the car's current status. The interior has a slick design with curved headrests and blue LEDs everywhere. The car only puts out 120 horsepower, which means that it won't be winning any drag races anytime soon; still, I'd gladly end my Fast and Furious days to be able to seat five while getting 82 mpg.
