The 3rd generation platform is the latest architecture in which Hyundai Motor Group's platform manufacturing capabilities and technology are concentrated, and it is characterized by a high degree of design freedom through its modular structure. In addition, collision safety was greatly improved by adopting a multi-skeleton structure that distributes head-on collision energy with weight reduction. Also, lightness and collision stability have been achieved at the same time. As a result, the 3rd generation platform is 55kg lighter on average compared to its competitors, and has an average strength of 10% or more compared to the previous generation. The low-profile design allows relatively heavy components such as the engine and drivetrain to be placed low. As a result, the underbody is low, and the floor is flat, which reduces air resistance under the body and lowers the center of gravity. In addition, the overall design optimization of the suspension, including the expansion of the caster trail (the degree to which the center of rotation is inclined to the front or rear of the vehicle), has improved ride quality and driving performance. The 3rd generation platform has been applied to most models of Hyundai Motor Group, starting with the 8th generation Sonata, proving its excellence.
