Hyundai Prophecy concept EV with special air purification system

Hyundai is positioning the Prophecy not only as a car with zero emissions but also as a car that can purify the air. This is ensured by a "special filtration system" with a sensor that captures the smallest particles of dust. When the level of contaminants inside the car becomes too high, a purification system is activated that draws in fresh air from the outside, filters it and starts the circulation throughout the car. Moreover, according to the company, the electric car continues to purify the air, even when it is idling or charging, and even if no one is inside.

The electric car “Prophecy” was created with an eye to vintage cars - models with smooth lines, similar to the coupe of the 1920s and 30s. Its dynamic shape and rear spoiler give it a sporty look, while wheels with rims in the form of propellers reduce air resistance. This look is based on Hyundai's signature style called "Sensuous Sportiness".

"The word ‘sensuous’ integrates the value of more emotion in our designs. ‘Sportiness’ implies dynamics, to be reactive of what’s happening around us. Sensuous Sportiness is not about a new language or philosophy. It’s about a new concept in the creation of our cars," says Luc Donckerwolke, Hyundai Motor Group’s Chief Design Officer.

The manufacturer claims that the interior exudes relaxation, with dark colours and natural materials that appeal to nature” and, thus, aims to provide a completely new experience in using the car.

Pixel headlamps provide excellent visibility in the dark and in bad weather, as well as due to the minimum energy consumption, reduce battery load. This progressive lighting technology will be used in future Hyundai electric car models.

Another feature of the exterior of the concept is a wide air intake installed under the front bumper, which optimally distributes the oncoming air flows under the bottom of the electric car, thereby providing more efficient cooling of the batteries.
