Welcome to CarSceneKorea.
I introduce newly released in Genesis, Hyundai and Kia cars.
And I'm here today at Hyundai Motorstudio Busan.
And the car I have behind me today is,
Heritage series Pony EV.
And as we can see from the name itself,
this is an Heritage to that of a classic Hyundai cars.
Let me give you some of the numbers.
Pony we see before us was first revealed in 1974,
which started to get produced in 1975.
And the one we are seeing in front of us is actual Pony1 a physical one.
And the chassis and everything that we see before us,
is actually the real Pony 1.
Hyundai has gone through with this Pony 1,
they got rid of everything inside out
and they have gone with the new paint, explicitly for this Pony.
And of course, not to mention about the interior and technology.
For some of Hyundai fans out there,
you guys probably know what I mean by this, but
IONIQ 5 that's just been released recently,
was originally to have been the hommage
or the heritage to the Pony.
But this one is the real deal.
This car was manufactured, back in the seventies
and back in that time, everything was different.
Be its safety regulations, safety features,
emissions, the dimensions,
all the technology put inside
everything has to get different, changed.
There just was no way for Hyundai to make IONIQ 5 out of this size,
because as we can see,
it's quite a compact car compared to the modern standards.
It wasn't really the case back in the time.
But again, the car of this size,
we don't really get to see the size cars anymore.
Barely have seats on the back.
It is quite humongous on the front row seats.
However, the proportion and the profile of the car,
something that we don't really see generally in today's market.
The distinctive difference on the exterior would be the headlights.
Right there.
And also, the turn signals underneath.
Everything on this Pony has been used with the pixel inspired light.
The parametric design.
Now, people are replacing the terms, like the gas paddle into accelerator
because there is no gas and so on.
And I wonder what the name, people would come up with
such thing as a mirror.
They have put together the fender and the front bumper,
as well as I like,
I really I really love what they've done with the splitter underneath.
You see that gray two-toned split on the underneath.
Still using that old classic Hyundai emblem on the back.
The font has not changed much ever since.
However, it definitely has that classic scent
matched with, again on the back, the digital inspired pixel lights,
that we have been seeing throughout IONIQ 5 and other EV cars to come in the future.
I was afraid that they might feel almost the same from a car to another,
you know,
looking the same thing on the back of the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6 and Pony and so forth.
That was something that I had in mind.
However, that really is not the case.
As we see with this Pony,
they can really get creative with the turn signal like that
as well as the rear taillight.
As for the wheels,
they have restored, the original wheel and also painted
that also with two tone on the pointers out there on the outer spoke.
And also they have put in the Hyundai emblem with those square pixels.
It also has the Energy Tire. I like that.
And this is the charging port, as we have been seen throughout on IONIQ.
And this outer trim here is actually a drain hole or outlets for rain.
And that is because back in the time,
there was less of a technology in terms of
making the design and the shapes.
And let me show you the trunk compartment. And in the middle is
actually that one-person mobility kit
which Hyundai calls it "Last mile,"
or it's simply put, it's a one wheel Segway.
With that you'll be able to travel that one last mile like it says.
And on the left, it is a drone. And on the right is helmet for your safety.
This Heritage Pony, it's actually, suspended from the ground up
and it's currently sitting on the second level.
And do you see the lift between the gap right there?
So, for the safety reason, I was not able to go inside and show you up close look of that.
Unlike the exterior, most of everything we see inside has been changed.
And that's of course, with the door trim, the doorknob,
they kept the classic window button right there, the rolling type.
Really curious how they operate, but again, this car is just a mock-up, so we can't really test out the feature there.
And check out the steering wheel.
It has three spoke, which is iconic to that of a sporty cars.
All sporty cars have three spoke wheels.
In the middle we see everything has been turned into the digital.
One distinctive design, within this heritage pony would be definitely
that vacuum tube sitting in the center cluster.
That is just outrageous.
And I'm not so sure if my phone is capturing it,
but you see, there is a manual gear emblem engraved in the middle center console.
And of course, it does not run on a manual transmission,
but probably, that's a heritage thing that they had put in.
A nice touch. I like that.
Move over to hear, of course,
there's only a brake and accelerator, there's no clutch.
Just look at that. I love what they've done with the footrest as well.
I wonder why they haven't made that into a pixel design.
So, here you are.
This is like the killer of all.
Just look at the crazy.
