Xavier Martinet, CEO of Hyundai Motor Europe, recently stated that the company is strengthening visual connections between its models to create a more cohesive brand image, without compromising the unique character of each vehicle. He noted that in the past, Hyundai models primarily relied on details like pixel-style lighting elements to establish links, resulting in a relatively weak overall family resemblance. Moving forward, Hyundai will adopt a clearer design language to enhance brand recognition while adhering to its "chess piece" design philosophy—ensuring each model maintains a distinct identity tailored to different customer groups. Martinet emphasized, "We won’t make all our cars look identical like photocopies, nor will we go to the extreme of excessive homogenization." Upcoming new models will clearly reflect a stronger sense of brand belonging while preserving their individualized positioning.
