Hyundai introduces a new concept UTV car -- the electric utility terrain vehicle designed by Roman Ignatowski and it has a cyberpunk design language. The overall look is rugged and modular with simplistic silhouettes at the base foundation of the body. It has a four-wheel drive and is powered by electrical charging.
It has four doors and delivers a wide range of modular design options. This includes alterations to the roof, interior space, and hood -- all of which can be managed based on the needs of the day. It can drive up mountains or just drive to the beach as a buggy on sunny days. All of the seats can be folded with the exception of the driver's seat.
