The Hyundai HCD-11 Nuvis Concept is a concept car designed at the company's California Design Center in Irvine, California. The vehicle was unveiled in the 2009 New York Auto Show.[1]
Design
The design concept was inspired by the interplay of natural, fluid elements with more rigid surfaces and structures to create the illusion of constant motion.[2]
One of its more unusual features is its upwards-opening doors, which are especially rare on SUVs. It is also a hybrid vehicle.
Specifications
The concept's features include 22-inch wheels and gullwing doors.
Interior seating fabric was provided by True Textiles, which was made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled polyester – reclaimed soda bottles – and increasingly sustainable manufacturing processes. Matching seatbelts are provided by Harveys Original Seatbeltbags.

The vehicle was powered by a parallel hybrid system, featuring 2.4-liter Theta II engine and a 205 N⋅m (151 lb⋅ft) electric motor with total rating of 228 hp (estimated), 6-speed automatic transmission, 270 Volt/5.3Ah lithium polymer battery pack.
Marketing
Harveys Original Seatbeltbags also developed two matching handbags for the Nuvis concept.
