The Hyundai Crater Concept will make its world premiere at the AutoMobility LA 2025 motor show in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday, 20 November at 9:45 a.m. Pacific Time (Friday, 21 November at 4:45 a.m. AEDT).
The concept showcases an extreme off-road vehicle, with capability and toughness packed into a compact design.
Rugged design inspired by extreme environments
The Hyundai Crater Concept was developed at the Hyundai America Technical Centre (HATCI) in Irvine, California. Designed as a compact off-road SUV, it embodies capability, toughness, and adventure-ready styling, reflecting the rugged spirit of Hyundai’s XRT production vehicles.
The Hyundai Crater Concept is born of the same adventure-centric DNA as the Hyundai IONIQ 5 XRT, Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT, and the Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro, while incorporating Hyundai’s new pixel-inspired lighting and modern design language to give it a futuristic yet rugged look.
A glimpse of Hyundai’s future off-road strategy
The Crater Concept arrives amid Hyundai’s push into the off-road and adventure SUV segment. Hyundai has confirmed plans for a dual-cab ute in North America by 2030, with a potential body-on-frame SUV variant to follow.
While the Crater remains a concept, its rugged design hints at the direction Hyundai may take with future production SUVs aimed at adventure, off-road capability, and outdoor lifestyles.
Public viewing at AutoMobility LA and Los Angeles Auto Show
After the global reveal, the Hyundai Crater Concept will be available for viewing during AutoMobility LA 2025 media days and the Los Angeles Auto Show public days, giving enthusiasts and journalists a firsthand look at Hyundai’s latest off-road design exploration.
Hyundai will livestream the reveal on the HyundaiUSA YouTube channel, giving fans and media worldwide a first look at the extreme off-road SUV. Following the global debut, the Crater Concept will be on display throughout the Los Angeles Auto Show public days, from 21 to 30 November.
