Connectivity and advanced levels of passenger safety are the main sales pitches of the first sneak peek at Hyundai’s upcoming new European model.

Those executive cruiser requirements hint at the car being a flag-ship premium model as does the futuristic swooping bodywork and pillar-less windows in the detail picture released although, with the use of honeycomb etching across the image, it’s unclear if that is a real production feature or a way of obscuring the detail a little more.

In a statement, says the newcomer “will offer customers new exterior and interior design, as well as new connectivity and safety features which will make it a leader in its class”. It is scheduled to make its global debut at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) in September and additional details will be drip-fed to the media over the weeks.
