South Korea’s first production vehicle is celebrated.
Hyundai has been on a roll with its electric program. The new Ioniq 5 is an attractive looking electric vehicle that has decent characteristics. The adorable Heritage Series Pony from Hyundai was also a surprise to everyone. It is a throwback model that Hyundai produced in its first year of production.
The coolest part about this concept is the fact that it actually uses a first-gen Pony. It was disassembled and re-engineered with an electrical powertrain and other upgrades. Then it was assembled again. Hyundai did not reveal any details about the study, but it stated that the car has a digital touch transmission and cradle space to hold a mobile phone. It also boasts a voice-activated steering column. We don’t yet know what all these technologies actually mean.
The pair of exterior mirrors mounted on the fenders are a cool addition. They reportedly only require very few cameras. While the overall car shape is the same as the original, the LED taillights and headlights add a modern touch to it. Although we haven’t been able to see the inside of the boot, Hyundai claims that there is a “last-mile mobility device” made from stainless steel.
Hyundai does not plan to make the Pony reborn. It’s not difficult to find a model from the first production vehicle of Hyundai for sale. The video below might help you find one.
