The Hyundai Prophecy employs a design language called Optimistic Futurism.Design elements throughout the vehicle were inspired by water in nature. Instead of a steering wheel, the Hyundai Prophecy uses joysticks to move.

Every automaker has a “design language,” which is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a series of identifying characteristics, specific to that brand, woven into their styling and design. You might notice how vehicles of a given automaker look a “certain way.” That’s on purpose. And Hyundai’s Sensuous Sportiness is one of the best examples of this. The next phase of this design language was recently unveiled in the Prophecy Concept EV.

What Is Sensuous Sportiness"

The idea originated in Hyundai’s Le Fil Rouge concept in 2018 during the Geneva International Motor Show. The concept, with its Sensuous Sportiness design language, centered on four different but distinct traits: proportion, architecture, styling, and technology. The idea (in a nut shell) is to create a car that is aesthetically pleasing, but also one that invokes driver emotion.
Here’s something wild: Hyundai bases the Sensuous Sportiness styling on the Golden Ratio, a concept commonly found in mathematics.
