    Hyundai CRATER Concept Makes Global Debut at Automobility LA 2025

    Design Highlights | Art of Steel

    The Art of Steel exterior design language transforms the strength and flexibility of steel into a language of sculptural beauty. Inspired by Hyundai Motor’s advanced steel technologies, the material’s natural formability reveals flowing volumes and precise lines that evoke the distinctive aesthetic quality of steel — powerful, gentle and timeless.

    Exterior Design Theme: The Impact of Adventure

    CRATER Concept’s exterior design was guided by a clear goal: to shape a rugged and capable form that reflects the landscapes that it’s inspired by. This informed every detail — from the chiseled bodysides to the bold skid plates — resulting in a concept that visually communicates strength, resilience, and purpose.

    Compact Concept’s Proportions

    CRATER Concept’s proportions reflect an adventurous spirit. Built on a compact monocoque architecture, CRATER Concept has been designed to go anywhere.

    Adventurous Silhouette

    CRATER Concept is highlighted by its bold silhouette, complemented by its steep approach and departure angles which support serious off-road exploration.

    Hexagonal Faceted Wheels

    CRATER Concept’s 18-inch wheels were inspired by envisioning a hexagonal asteroid impacting a sheer metal landscape, leaving a fractal crater in its aftermath. The design evokes an off-road spirit, blending ruggedness with precision. The wheels are clad in generous 33-inch off-road tires, enabling superior traction and ground clearance for performance in all environments.

    Wide Skid Plate

    A wide, functional skid plate stretches across CRATER Concept’s underbody, not only for added protection, but to visually anchor the vehicle. Its sheer surface and robust form express protection and capability.

    Nov 20 (Reuters) – Intuit (INTU.O), opens new tab forecast second-quarter revenue growth above Wall Street estimates on Thursday, a sign of growing demand for its artificial intelligence-powered financial management tools.

    The company, which offers products such as tax-preparation software TurboTax, finance portal Credit Karma and accounting tool QuickBooks, is benefiting as customers increasingly seek personalized financial guidance and automated solutions for tasks such as bookkeeping.

    On Tuesday, Intuit signed a multi-year deal worth more than $100 million with OpenAI to use the ChatGPT maker’s AI models to power the company’s AI agents.

    The integration of Intuit apps within ChatGPT will involve “no revenue share”, and customer data privacy and security principles will remain unchanged, CEO Sasan Goodarzi said on the post-earnings call.

    Earlier in the day, the company named ServiceNow (NOW.N), opens new tab CEO Bill McDermott and Nasdaq (NDAQ.O), opens new tab CEO Adena Friedman to its board, effective August 2026, while Goodarzi is set to become board chair on January 22, 2026.

    Intuit forecast revenue growth of about 14% to 15% for the second quarter ending January 31, above analysts’ average estimate of 12.8% growth, according to data compiled by LSEG.

    However, its adjusted earnings per share outlook of $3.63 to $3.68 for the quarter fell short of the estimated $3.83.

    Revenue for the first quarter rose 18% to $3.89 billion, handily beating estimates of $3.76 billion.

    Adjusted EPS of $3.34 also exceeded estimates of $3.09 for the quarter ended October 31.

    “We are confident in delivering double-digit revenue growth and expanding margin this year, and we are reiterating our full-year guidance for fiscal 2026,” finance chief Sandeep Aujla said.

    The board also approved a quarterly dividend of $1.20 per share, a 15% increase from a year ago.
