Hyundai is prepared for a solid presence at this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA 2015) show in Las Vegas. Following last year’s impressive display of tricked-out and tuned-up cars, Hyundai has established another set of six special vehicles, all created by specialty garages and tuning shops.
While the 2014 lineup of modified vehicles focused heavily on the Genesis and Sonata, this year’s intent is to promote the redesigned Tucson, with three of the featured mods being based on the crossover SUV.
Here’s what to look for from Hyundai at this year’s SEMA Show in November.
