Hyundai N, a high-performance sub-brand from Hyundai, has achieved what rivals have not been able to do. After the phenomenal launch of Ioniq 5 N, this brand seeks to make other innovations so that customers can feel the sensation of driving differently.
Launching from CarBuzz, Tuesday, June 25, the brand from South Korea filed for a steering wheel patent with an internal light that could turn on. The light aims to be the right indicator or time gauge to change teeth as well as in racing cars.
Archived through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA), Hyundai claims that this concept is designed simply so that the cost is cheaper to assemble and make it easier to mass produce.
This steering wheel will display an LED indicator at the top. Then, a finishing panel with a lens can be installed with a variety of material material from the steering wheel, including carbon fibers. But the simplest and most interesting detail is that the cable for this wheel does not have to be installed from the start.
According to Hyundai, this steering wheel architecture has a flow where cables can only be installed when needed. This modular base allows manufacturers to produce one steering wheel for several vehicles and can cut their development and production costs.

Unfortunately, this factory from the country of ginseng has not disclosed what model will be present with the innovation. Chances are, the steering wheel will be present on two mainstay models, such as Ioniq 5 N and Elantra N.
However, the patent documentation shows an image of the Genesis G90 steering wheel which is a luxury competing model of Mercedes-Benz S-Class. However, it is not impossible that this innovation will be present in the model developed by the Magma sub-brand.
Thus, the steering wheel will also be present in other high-performance models, including GV60 or G70 Magma. In fact, this system has the potential to also be present in the GT90 couple model.
