Hyundai has released their world debut of the 2011 Hyundai Curb concept vehicle. Curb is a compact Urban Activity Vehicle (UAV) for the next generation of Hyundai buyers. Hyundai designers wanted to create a vehicle loaded with technology that was at home in an urban environment with potholes and densely packed nightclubs on the streets. It is defiantly a concept car, but it also showcases Hyundai’s Blue Link connectivity technology.
Features:
New Curb is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) four-cylinder engine that delivers 175 HP and 169 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) transmission and Idle Stop and Go (ISG) technology. It is also offered with advanced Blue Link and connectivity features against impact and shock.
The exterior design starts with the glass that spills into the hood and wraps around the cowl, covering the A pillars. This look resembles the face shield of a sport bike motorcycle helmet. Beneath the glass are structural trusses with the glass panels applied like a shield. The interior of car gets a large acrylic screen with multiple zones that allow information to be passed between passengers all via a touchscreen. List of interior technologies includes: Heads Up Display (HUD) provided by Continental with navigation, Pandora internet, and, of course, the Blue Link Location Sharing feature that will send Curb’s location to select members of social networking sites.
