The brand looks to remain on the cutting edge of automotive styling.

Whether you like the hydrogen fuel source or not, Hyundai is really hoping you like the look of the 2026 Hyundai Nexo revealed last week. Because that's what the next generation of Hyundai's conventional models is going to look like. The head of Hyundai's South Korean design center has said that more models with a similar design will hit the market as soon as the end of the year, though they won't exactly be copies of the oddball Hyundai alternative-fuel vehicle.
