现代在北美车展发布了Santa Cruz跨界概念皮卡。该车旨在适应21世纪新时代下全新生活方式需求的变化。皮卡车用户更多的是需要“城市探险”而不是“干农活”，因此该车的外形设计风格更接近一款城市SUV而不是卡车。Santa Cruz跨界概念皮卡车采用现代家族式的六边形进气格栅，配搭饱满的发动机盖，柳叶眉状的前大灯和醒目的雾灯都采用LED技术。现代Santa Cruz跨界概念皮卡车配备大尺寸合金轮圈，并采用了赛车的单螺母锁紧设计，配搭米其林特别设计的轮胎和黄色Brembo制动卡钳。车身初看仅有两扇车门，但实为四门设计，后门采用后置铰链以方便后排乘客上下车。该车搭载2.0升涡轮增压柴油引擎最大功率142千瓦/190马力，扭矩406牛米，配搭HTRAC四驱系统，百公里油耗仅有7.8升。现代并未透露Santa Cruz跨界概念皮卡车是否将投产。

 

Hyundai unveils interesting Santa Cruz Crossover Truck Concept in Detroit

Hyundai has introduced today in Detroit the rather surprising Santa Cruz Crossover Truck Concept.

 

Targeting "millennial lifestyles", Hyundai's brand new concept is rethinking the idea of a utilitarian truck and this vehicle is addressed to new generation of car buyers who are "urban adventurers" and are in need of a versatile yet stylish type of transportation. Rather than implementing a more rugged design suitable for a truck, Hyundai went for a bolder look with a big hexagonal front grille, honeycombed headlights and prominent fog lights featuring LED tech.

 

The concept rides on oversized alloy wheels equipped with center-locking hubs and wrapped around in Michelin tires matched with yellow Brembo brake calipers. At a first glance it might look like it has only two doors but the Santa Cruz actually comes with rear-hinged rear doors providing an easier access to the rear seats and they blend nicely with the overall design.

 

Power comes from a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine outputting 190 bhp (142 kW) and 300 lb-ft (406 Nm) of torque sent to a HTRAC all-wheel drive system which enables the truck to return 30 mpg US (36 mpg UK or 7.8 liters / 100 km).

 

Hyundai hasn't said anything about the chances of seeing a production version based on the concept.
