Hyundai FD

It's all go for Hyundai at the upcoming Geneva motor show with no fewer than three world premieres for the Korean firm.

The biggest news comes in the form of the new hatchback, codenamed the FD, which is aimed at the Ford Focus and VW Golf.

To pull this off, Hyundai has followed in the tracks of Kia by designing the FD for the European market.

The FD goes on sale this summer and will also introduce the firm's new naming policy for its cars. 

Instead of the usual moniker we've been used to, Hyundai will unveil its plan to give every car an alphanumerical name, which company execs must think is an A1 idea.

Last but not least among the Hyundai Geneva glitz is an SUV concept. There's no orthodox concept here but a crossover SUV that uses advanced material, which is environmentally friendly.

So, to see all of Hyundai's new stuff, keep your eyes peeled for our Geneva show coverage starting on Tuesday March 6.
