Hyundai says the Intrado is "relevant to consumers" and is "far more than a styling exercise."

Just because it's packing a futuristic powertrain doesn't mean that the new Hyundai Intrado concept isn't a preview of a crossover we'll be seeing on the road in the near future. After all, the hydrogen CUV unveiled today at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show is from Hyundai, which is just about to launch the hydrogen-powered Tuscon fuel cell in the US later this spring. The accompanying press release even says the concept is "relevant to consumers." If that's not a hint, we don't know what is.

Intrado apparently means the underside of an airplane wing, and the CUV that bears the inscription tries to lift off with a sleek, lightweight and aerodynamic body that Hyundai says, is "far more than a styling exercise" and the focus "inside and out is on meeting the needs of consumers with busy lifestyles." That means the interior is as uncluttered as the shiny outside, with lots of carbon fiber accents. Thanks to a next-generation hydrogen fuel-cell stack and a 36 kW li-ion battery, the Intrado has a range of around 375 miles.

As if we needed another hint that the Intrado is previewing a production vehicle, we'll leave you with a statement from Woong-chul Yang, vice chairman at Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) Namyang R&D Centre, who said the Intrado is, "a vision of how eco-friendly cars will deliver delight to our customers." Feel free to read more in the press release below.Continue reading Hyundai Intrado is more than just another fuel cell concept
