Hyundai Introduces The Car For The Great Outdoors!
Published: 10th January 2003
The convertible boot configuration recognises that consumer needs are not always best served with an SUT-style open bed. For most consumers, a conventional boot is the most useful storage solution most of the time. OLV is designed to meet that need, but still allows the boot to be converted into an open utility bed when necessary.
The OLV marks a return to the fun and durability of SUVs with an interior that uses materials resistant to water, scratches and dents. The unique tailgate on the OLV is made of injection-moulded urethane that is so durable it does not require a paint coating for protection from the elements and cargo.
Safety features include strong unit body construction and prominent bumpers along with front and side impact airbags.
