Hyundai's Boulder Is a Boxy, Body-on-Frame SUV Built for America
The vision presented at the New York Auto Show marks the beginning of a new, even more localized chapter for Hyundai's ambitions in America.
Antuan started out in the automotive industry the old-fashioned way, by turning wrenches in a driveway and picking up speeding tickets. He now has nearly 20 years of expertise and experience behind the wheel of hundreds of cars, including electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, hydrogen, and traditional combustion vehicles. For each car he tests, Antuan covers more than 200 miles behind the wheel and evaluates driving dynamics; acceleration and braking performance; range; and efficiency. Antuan's goal is to use his extensive car knowledge to educate CNET readers and help with their next car-related buying decision. Whether you're EV-curious, an EV-enthusiast or a combustion-car loyalist, Antuan will bring you the unbiased advice, reviews, best lists and news you need.

Coach-style back doors swing backwards on rear hinges to grant unimpeded access to the cabin. The central door pulls keep the design simple and streamlined.

Inside, the Boulder concept presents a chunky dashboard with hard-wearing materials.

Rather than the expected massive display, the concept makes extensive use of physical controls.
