Rejoice: The Hyundai N Vision 74 Concept Will Eventually Go On Sale

A few years back, Hyundai showed the breathtaking N Vision 74 concept, a retro-inspired two-door EV with a tantalizing 80-style look. Speculation about the car’s release has swirled since, but the automaker recently confirmed that the car would land as part of its effort to deliver 21 new EVs by 2030.


Hyundai dropped the news during its Investor Day presentation when talking about upcoming “high-performance EVs.” The automaker didn’t detail specs for the car, so there’s no way to know if it will push forward with the hydrogen fuel cell configuration shown with the concept or if it will move to a standard electric powertrain for the production car. As Motor1 pointed out, the hydrogen fueling situation in the United States is far less than perfect, so a traditional electric configuration is more likely.


That said, Hyundai has hinted that the 74 could be a super limited-production car, which would make hydrogen more reasonable. Reports have also pointed to a massively powerful hydrogen system making 800 horsepower or more from dual motors, while others have speculated a high-700-horsepower number.

The only things we know for sure are that the car is coming and that it will arrive before 2030, so there could be a hefty wait for the 74’s launch. In any case, if the car lands with anywhere near the expected performance, it’ll be well worth the wait. Plus, how can you not be excited about the styling?

    Bd2, anti-Bd2, Anal, and Art are the same person. Art, the schtick isn't funny anymore; kinda like telling jokes from the 80s.

      Yep, everything posted before today was by Anal.
  • Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?
  • Slavuta There Used to be Pontiac Trans Sport.... That "Trans Sport" part has a totally new meaning these days
  • 210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
  • Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
  • Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
