Hyundai HDC-2 Grandmaster concept: follows the HDC-1 Le Fil Rouge but unlike that vehicle, this one is an SUV and a big one at that; more than likely a preview of the future model which sources indicate could be called Palisade or else revive the MaxCruz and/or Veracruz names
Hyundai Tucson 48V diesel mild hybrid: will be marketed mainly in Europe, powertrain is based on HMG’s existing 2.0-litre diesel
Kia Niro EV: was revealed to journalists in May so this was its public world premiere, claimed range of up to 380km for variants powered by a 64kWh lithium-polymer battery pack or up to 240km from a 39.2kWh pack which is fitted to less expensive versions
Kia Sportage facelift and 48V diesel mild hybrid: same 2.0-litre engine as in the Hyundai Tucson and the 1.7-litre diesel is replaced by a new ‘U3’ 1.6
