Hyundai AX1 crossover teaser images out

The AX1 could be powered by a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a turbocharged unit

Hyundai has released a teaser image of its upcoming compact crossover (codenamed: AX1).

The teaser image partially reveals the front fascia of the car. The AX1 appears to have a funky looking front end featuring a circular headlamp with a ring of LED daytime running lights around it. The turn indicators are positioned above the main headlamp units. The front grille has a triangular mesh design. The tail lights are pretty unique too, with triangular LEDs arranged in a hexagon pattern.

The AX1 has an upright stance with the rear door handles positioned on the C-pillars. It is likely to come with 6-spoke alloy wheels.

Rumours suggest that the AX1 could be powered by a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a turbocharged unit with a similar displacement. The engines could be mated to either an automated manual or a proper automatic gearbox.
