2005 Hyundai Neos III - AllCarIndex

Original name: 현대 Neos III

The Hyundai NEOS-III is an exciting technology-rich concept which points the way to Hyundai’s future direction in the luxury CUV segment.

A product of Hyundai’s styling studio in Chiba, Japan, the NEOS III performs like the 4WD SUV that it is, but retains the feel of a luxury sedan.

ExteriorOutside, the sleek aerodynamic styling looks as impressive as it performs. Adding an innovative touch are the spindle-shaped character lines that run the length of the car. Door integrated side mirrors auto-dip in reverse gear improving downward visibility and reducing accident risk.

The front grille and headlights incorporate advanced features including pre-crash sensors and proximity control using Extreme High Frequency radar for safer driving.

Infra-red night vision system plus adaptive front-lighting automatically direct the headlight beam.

Interior

The interior features a three zone design: Front seats are the excitement zone, second-row seats are the comfort zone and the third-row seats are the versatility zone.

Adding a new dimension is a Heads-Up Display and a trackball which offers centralized control of the navigation system, audio system, and climate controls. Readouts including night vision, rear camera images and vehicle status are displayed on a large 11-inch wide LCD screen in the center.

Performance

Under the hood is a newly developed 4.6-liter 32-valve V8 engine mated to an electronically controlled 5-speed automatic gearbox.
