But the new pictures give away a raft of key details than ever before.

From the looks of it, the Hyundai Custo will definitely turn heads and we cannot help but wonder if its influence would be felt on global models. Up front, the prominent grille section resembles that of the Tucson mid-size SUV and Santa Cruz compact pickup truck with hidden LED Daytime Running Lights giving a sporty character to the vehicle.
