Maybe more than a decade ago, but recently? That Sony is just a recent concept, and Hyundai and Kia have released EV concepts themselves for years. I'm not sure about Hyundai, but Kia's design center is in Germany.
- xattt 4y agoYes, even Kia. Specific examples: (1) The front end of the current Kia Carnival looks like a last-model Jeep Grand Cherokee. (2) Last generation Kia Forte sedan was a essentially a last-gen Honda Civic. (3) Current generation Kia Rio has the rear end of the Mk VI Golf. (4) Current generation Kia Sorento has a rear-end similar to the Ford Mach E (specifically the tail lights). None of these examples are enough to say Hyundai Motor Company is lifting their designs from other manufacturers, but the fact that there is a consistent pattern of design overlap is telling.
