2013 Hyundai Santa Fe leaked

A leak photos of the 2013 Santa Fe. This could be the most angular interpretation of Hyundai fluidic front end design, while the rear follow the same trend as the new Elantra with elegantly wrapped around tail light.

2012 Kia Cee'd - Live photos

After a set of studio photo for the Geneva-bound 2012 Kia Cee'd, the car is out in the wild. The design is immediately recognizable as a Kia, with a latest evolution of their Tiger grille, now in more elaborate and rounded at the corner.
All of the contemporary Kia has well laid-back Tiger grille, but the latest iteration on the 2012 Cee'd is more forward slanted than before, giving it a more snout like appearance in this angle. The crisp but angular lines from the Forte and Optima K5 has been softened, giving it a more harmonic instead of brash looks.

The rear end has some Sportage-like kind of silhouette, provided by the similar theme of rear light and rear glass shape outline. One more photo after the jump.

Youngman SUV spied again - with Gen2 audio and Persona seat?

The prototype of the Lotus Engineering designed Youngman SUV has been spied again. While the spyshot revealed no new details, it become clearer that the resemblance to the Proton MSX is minimal. The entire front end is totally different. For one, underneath the camouflaged, the headlamp shape is rectangular instead of triangular. The hood lines and front grille outlines form a plunging U instead of sharp V like the MSX/APX. Hence, from now onwards, I think, the Chinese (or world media for the matter) should stop relating this SUV to the production version of the Proton Group uber-SUV.
The interior shot shows a cohesively designed centre console, with a classy audio and climate control systems. There are aplenty of chrome surrounding the dials and buttons. The steering and gearknob looks like from the Youngman L5, another LEM-designed car.
More after the jump.
The mule interior funnily adopt an old Proton Gen2 audio system in place of the cohesively designed ICE+climate panel as above. The exposed door inner shows the door inside handle + lock knob assy adopt the cable connecting instead of the primitive rod solution. The weather film can be seen too together with its adhesive pattern. Finally, isn't the front seat is from the original Proton Persona?
