‘Rolling Lab’ Hyundai N Vision 74 confirmed for production, launch expected by 2030
Despite an uncertain future for the electric vehicle (EV) segment, Hyundai remains steadfast in moving forward.
During the recently held CEO Investor Day 2024 event, Hyundai confirmed the launch of no less than 21 new EV expected by 2030, ranging from affordable models to high-performance ones.
Interestingly, Hyundai also plans to turn the N Vision 74 concept model into a reality.
The Hyundai N Vision 74 is a concept developed by Hyundai based on the 1974 Pony coupe model designed by the legendary designer Giorgetto Giugiario.
Unlike the Pony, the N Vision 74 presents a blend of retro and modern elements with a wedge-shaped body structure, a large rear spoiler, and digital light units at the front and rear.
At this stage, Hyundai has not disclosed the powertrain unit that will be used in the actual production version of the N Vision 74.
However, for your information, the N Vision 74 Concept is a hybrid vehicle combining a hydrogen fuel cell system and a battery electric powertrain.
The 800-volt electric propulsion unit includes two electric motors generating 670 hp/900 Nm powering the rear wheels.
A 62.4 kWh battery pack is utilized to supply the required power to these electric motors.
At the front, Hyundai incorporates a 114 hp hydrogen fuel cell system with two hydrogen tanks totaling 4.2 kg capacity that can be fully refilled in just five minutes.
Overall, the N Vision 74 can travel nearly 600 km and accelerate from 0-100 km/h in four seconds.
Apart from the official name, Hyundai has also not revealed a specific timeline for the production model launch of the N Vision 74.
As of now, the N Vision 74 is one of the 21 new EV models set to be released by Hyundai by 2030.
Hyundai is also aiming for total sales figures to reach 5.55 million units by the same year, with 2 million of them being EV models
