US EditionMeet Hyundai's Newest Sci-Fi Off-Road Concept
- On Thursday, Hyundai unveiled the Crater Concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show, offering the first public look at the compact off-road SUV inspired by extreme events.
- The concept was developed at the Hyundai America Technical Center, Irvine, California, targeting U.S. off-road preferences that differ from South Korea's, Hyundai says.
- Hyundai loaded the Crater with playful features like a Crater Man mascot and a trunk-mounted record player, pairing them with an Off-Road Controller, wide skid plates, and 333 off-road tires.
- Hyundai gave no production timeline, stressing the Crater is a concept for now, while The Sandbox creative studio will support future XRT and XRT Pro models.
- The concept could be battery-electric or fuel-cell-electric, Hyundai says, with Art of Steel design and HTWO lamps linking it to broader rugged EV and FCEV styles.
