Love it or hate it, the
Nissan Juke has drawn attention to itself and to its maker. Little wonder, then, that
Hyundai wants to follow a similar formula.
According to our compatriots over at
Edmunds, Hyundai has a whole raft of new products in the works - as you'd expect from the world's fourth-largest automaker - including replacements for the current
Tucson and
Elantra sometime next year, but also a subcompact crossover to target the Juke, not to mention tiny softroading rivals like the forthcoming
Chevrolet Trax. Details at this point are few and far between, but it appears Hyundai is committed to making it as zany as the
Nissan it will target. The Korean automaker revealed the
Curb concept (pictured above) along similar lines at the
2011 Detroit Auto Show.
Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski tells
Edmunds not to expect a mini Tuscon, but to "Think of maybe something that looks like a Juke or something that has edgy, dynamic styling." Considering how off-the-map Hyundai went with the
Veloster and its unconventional array of doors, we know the Korean automaker can think outside the box for this Gen-Y crossover. Whether the edge tiny CUV market has space for more than the Juke, however, is another matter. One way or another, look for the tiny Korean crossover to arrive sometime in 2017.
