继现行版飞思于2011年发布以后,现代正在开发新一代车型。最近谍照记者拍到了正在沙漠进行炎热气候测试的下一代飞思。新车与现行版采用了大致相同的造型,新车同时继续保持了非对称车门,乘客一侧采用双车门以便于进出后排座椅。车鼻最显眼部分仍是硕大格栅。预计这辆测试车采用了最终设计的前大灯。现代最新款车型,诸如Ioniq和欧版i30 CW谍照都显示采用了比这款车更锐利的边缘。虽然车身进行了遮盖,但并未隐藏车尾造型。与现行版相比,新车的后窗更小,但这些遮盖很可能掩盖了真正的后窗。新车尾灯组也比现行版的看起来更平直。车尾下面扔采用了双排气尾管,不过这个圆形排气尾管很可能不是最终设计。新车动力系统扔包括自然进气和涡轮增压引擎。更宽的后轮拱和集成进气口将为2.0升四缸涡轮引擎和电子涡轮增压器输送更多空气。飞思掀背车很可能不会进入欧洲市场,而美版车将作为2019款车型于明年上市。
Next Hyundai Veloster spied testing in the desert
Hyundai is now developing a new generation of the Veloster after debuting the original in 2011. These spy photos show the company is keeping the updated hatchback under heavy camouflage during hot-weather desert testing.
The updated Veloster sticks with the same general shape as the current model. Hyundai’s designers also maintain the asymmetric extra door on the passenger side makes it easier for passengers to climb into the rear.
A broad grille still dominates the nose. We suspect these aren’t the final headlights, though. The latest Hyundai’s like the Ioniq and spy photos of the European i30 CW have light covers with sharper edges than these rounded parts.
Hyundai’s concealment can’t hide the shape of the hatch at the rear. Compared to the current model the rear window looks smaller, but the cladding might be hiding some of it. The taillights also look more horizontal than the square-like design that the Veloster presently has. The model still has a set of dual exhausts pointing out the back, but these round tips might not be the final design.
The new Veloster would likely continue to be available in naturally aspirated and turbocharged form. Wider rear fenders with integrated intakes might feed air to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with an electric compressor.
Europeans probably shouldn’t get too excited about the new Veloster because the hatchback very likely isn’t coming to that market. Customers in the U.S. should anticipate seeing the fresh Veloster in its production guise sometime in 2018 and for it to go on sale for the 2019 model year.
