Hyundai is killing it in the EV world. Every electric vehicle unveiling is proof that the Korean automaker is charging full-steam ahead without compromise. But this week it outdid itself with a vehicle that absolutely needs to be put into production, the N Vision 74 Concept, a vehicle based on the Hyundai Pony Coupe concept introduced in 1974.
It should be in client carports and on open streets enchanting proprietors and different drivers. Who would have no desire to see this cruising all over their area? It’s an astounding return to a past idea vehicle, and honestly, in the event that Honda and Volkswagen can make retro work, why not Hyundai.

The Uphill Battle for the Honda E
I’ve composed a couple of words about how the Honda E should be brought to the United States. Honda is famously late to the EV progress and the Honda E could go about as a radiance vehicle in the US that forms generosity in the electric vehicle world, while likewise delaying to get its electric vehicle setup out and about.
In any case, it’s not coming to the US, probably ever, and as a matter of fact, there was an opportunity it could never have occurred. Some in Honda’s upper administration were not excessively excited about the Honda E coming to showcase. Luckily, their folly didn’t win and Europeans have the charming as-a-button, retro-propelled E accessible for procurement.
Which began as an idea vehicle transformed into a creation vehicle, and keeping in mind that it never landed stateside, it was fabricated even against the desires of some Honda chiefs. The desire of individuals won out. That ought to look good for those truly into the Hyundai N Vision 74, perhaps coming to full creation.
Regardless of how hard it very well may be to assemble, great wistfulness sells.
The Vantastic ID.Buzz
Volkswagen was consistently forthright about the ID.Buzz coming to advertise. Sure it took seemingly always, yet the automaker needed to get the ID.3 and ID.4 out and about before they put their electric microbus into creation. It’s a good idea to pacify the majority with high-volume vehicles, then, at that point, sell the great retro-van.
Regardless of whether Volkswagen wasn’t at first keen on building the ID.Buzz, when the public saw it the organization truly didn’t have a very remarkable decision. It was a moment hit at car exhibitions and on the web. Turns out there’s a part of the public that needs more than a utilitarian-looking vehicle.
As a car columnist, I get additional inquiries regarding the ID.Buzz from ordinary individuals than some other vehicle. I’m speculating Volkswagen will experience issues staying aware of interest, which is something beneficial for an automaker that is taking a risk on a retro plan in an electric vehicle. Be that as it may, it won’t amaze.
The Already Retro Hyundai Ioniq 5
Yet, assuming there was ever a piece of proof that Hyundai might actually put the N Vision 74 into creation, it’s the Ioniq 5. The little SUV/hatchback is overflowing with 90s hot seal wistfulness enveloped with 80s computer game pixel workmanship. The vehicle should blast Duran constant as it drives not too far off.
It’s likewise a sublime vehicle. Regardless of how frequently I’ve driven it, I actually love the Ioniq 5 for all that it does innovation and market-wise. It’s extraordinary.
It likewise gives Hyundai the permit to present more retro-cool EVs. Perhaps one in light of a 1974 idea that is as of now a moving lab of EV and hydrogen innovation.
Like the Honda E before it, the N Vision 74 has gathered a gigantic following and requires the plan to be placed into creation. The vehicle is as of now being utilized to test the course abilities of an EV/power module mixture. In any case, it’ll likewise appear at car expos over the course of the following couple of years. Wherever it goes it’ll probably draw a colossal group, potentially eclipsing genuine creation vehicles Hyundai is flaunting.
Also, that is the rub. Hyundai says it has no designs to place the vehicle into creation. Despite the fact that, plans do change, and assuming the N Vision 74 gets pulling consideration far from vehicles that are coming to the street, the organization may simply surrender and give us an EV that brings the styling and a portion of the power we’re finding in the moving lab.
We should simply ensure Hyundai realizes we’re intrigued. Extremely intrigued.
