Two years ago, Hyundai unveiled the N Vision 74 concept car, a bold vision of high-performance electric driving that captured the imagination of automotive enthusiasts. Fast forward to today, and it seems that Hyundai’s electrifying concept might not just remain a pipe dream. The Korean automaker is seriously considering bringing the N Vision 74 to mass production.
During an investor presentation, Hyundai revealed its ambitious roadmap for the future, outlining plans to introduce 21 all-electric models by 2030. Among these electrifying prospects are the N Vision 74 and the Genesis Magma concept car, both of which promise to push the boundaries of electric vehicle (EV) technology. The lineup also includes budget-friendly options like the Inster and Casper subcompact models, the Ioniq 9 three-row crossover, premium Genesis electric cars, and high-performance variants.
The N Vision 74 is particularly intriguing, drawing inspiration from Hyundai’s 1974 Pony Coupe—a nod to the classic roots of the brand—and the futuristic N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo, which was originally envisioned as a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. While the production version of the N Vision 74 might differ significantly from its conceptual design, its development marks a significant leap forward in Hyundai’s EV strategy.
Hyundai’s presentation also hinted at a broader interest in electric vehicles with extended range (EREV), essentially hybrids that utilize an internal combustion engine to recharge the batteries. This indicates that Hyundai is not just focusing on pure electric vehicles but is also exploring various powertrain options, including traditional internal combustion engines, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and hydrogen fuel cells.
As Hyundai gears up to expand its electric vehicle lineup, the prospect of seeing the N Vision 74 on the road grows more promising. The company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability is set to reshape the future of driving, making it an exciting time for both enthusiasts and the automotive industry alike.
