\nIt’s been nearly two years since the Hyundai<\/a> HED-5 concept<\/a> bowed at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a>, but in late 2008, the Korean automaker announced that a production version of the compact crossover would arrive in 2010<\/a>. And here it is.<\/p>\n

Spied while testing in Northern Scandinavia, Hyundai’s unnamed answer to the Opel Zafira<\/a> gets substantially toned down from its conceptual predecessor, although shades of Hyundai’s new “Fluidic Sculpture” design language are peering through the camo.<\/p>\n

The hood’s squat proportions are balanced by the acres of windshield, and if there wasn’t enough glass up front, Hyundai has seen fit to add a set of small windows aft of the A-pillars. Even with the camouflage covering much of the rear hatch, it’s obvious that the mini-‘ute is destined to provide plenty of cargo space, and judging by the size of the rear doors, back seat passengers won’t be wanting for legroom.<\/p>\n

Although the original HED-5 concept was powered by a 2.2-liter diesel putting out 212 horsepower and 340 lb.-ft. of torque, when Hyundai announced production plans for the crossover, it mentioned a new 286-hp, 2.0-liter Theta Turbo GDI engine. When it eventually makes it to markets abroad, expect either the 115-hp 1.7-liter diesel from the ix35 concept<\/a> or a 136-hp 2.0-liter oilburner to be available, along with a few choice gasoline powerplants. No word on U.S. availability, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see the production version on the show stand in Geneva next month.<\/p>\n
