Referring to the design icon of a car manufacturer, many people will remember BMW’s kidney-shaped radiator, some people may remember Audi’s Singleframe, Lexus’s crop radiator, BMW’s Panamericana or Dynamic Shield of Mitsubishi in the popular segment.
Many car models just need to look at the radiator and ignore the logo, we can guess which brand they come from.
However, all of them in the future no longer matter in the opinion of Hyundai design chief SangYup Lee. “In the era of electric vehicles, heat dissipation is no longer a necessity,” he told Car and Driver at the New York auto show. “It doesn’t make sense to keep a design element of a motor vehicle over an electric vehicle,” he said.
Instead, the future headlight structure will be the new face of each vehicle and more broadly the brand. Hyundai has gone ahead with this with pixelated headlights integrated into the radiator (such as on the new Sonata, Tucson or most recently the Palisade facelift) and with some small changes can become a complete face of a vehicle model without a heatsink as a background.
Hyundai Palisade facelift has just been launched at the New York exhibition 2022.
In the near future, all Hyundai Ioniq series cars will use the above light interface as confirmed by the Hyundai leader. The company absolutely will not use fake radiators on its electric cars, at least while he is still in office.
