THE PROBLEM
Vehicles that offer useful utility are too big and too inefficient.
41%
3500 lbs
93%
Transportation is responsible for more than a third of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Average SUV weight.
The majority of adult drivers desire better fuel economy.
Wired magazine’s 20 most efficient light utility vehicles average only 21.2 M.p.g.

THE SOLUTION
Small lightweight SUVs that offer comparable utility at half the size and twice the efficiency.
3x stronger than steel & 30% lighter A vehicle can be manufactured with light weight composites that are cheaper stronger than steel.
2x more efficient & 50% size and weight The smaller OPOC engine is half the weight and size of a conventional IC engine.
Re-imagined vehicle architecture The smaller engine allows the vehicle to be re-organized in order to optimize utility.

Genesis 2022 Irvine, CA

Hyundai Design North America Summer Internship
The personality of Genesis must reflect the brands unlikely beginnings and struggle for success: Genesis is the unexpected prodigy born from the bottom of the hierarchy. If Genesis has any equity, it would be its aggressive climb up from its unlikely origin. Therefore Genesis must embrace its youth and deny it’s inclination to follow it’s competitor’s conventions. The Genesis Coupe should appeal to a new market specifically individuals who have gained unexpected success, much like Genesis’s own story. These target individuals are the ones who have come up in the ranks on their own sweat and determination. They’re not into standards and protocol and they weren’t given’ a new Mercedes for graduation. They didn’t inherent their wealth and they want to make a statement about that.
