This Student-Designed Hyundai Concept Is Edgy and Awesome

The automotive industry is always changing and relies on fresh ideas from young designers and engineers to create innovative products. Concepts can offer a glimpse into the future of cars, and one student recently showcased an intriguing design for a futuristic Hyundai concept named the Obsidian. This concept car features a retro-futuristic design reminiscent of the 1980s, with a wedge-shaped front end that suggests a potential evolution of the Ioniq 5. The design maximizes cabin space with a flat roof leading into a hatchback, offering ample headroom for passengers. Designed with support from Hyundai, the Obsidian stands out among recent Hyundai concepts like the Grandeur and Pony Coupe. This design concept was featured at the Car Design Event 2025 in Munich alongside other innovative concepts from Hyundai and other automakers. Hyundai’s designers may find inspiration in this unique design as it captures attention and admiration from car enthusiasts.
