Following the release of a teaser sketch back in December, we now have the first official image of Hyundai’s i-oniq concept study that is set to debut at the 2012 Geneva motor show next week.

Albeit not a coupe in the traditional sense as it sports a rear hatch, the i-oniq is a sporty looking model featuring a low roofline and sleek body work that represents the next evolution of the Korean brand’s ‘fluidic sculpture’ styling language.

Maybe it’s just us, but from this angle, the front-end design brings to mind the Nissan 350Z.

The concept model measures 4,400mm long and is powered by an electric motor linked to a small displacement range extending petrol engine driving the rear wheels.

That’s all we have for now, but as always, we’ll keep you informed for any updates.
