The new Hyundai i10 has been revealed ahead of its public unveiling at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
The next generation of the popular i10 grows slightly in its dimensions, by 80 mm in length, 65 mm in width and it rides on a 5 mm longer wheelbase. The additional dimensions have added 27-litres of boot space, for a total of 252-litres.
Designed in two versions for the Indian and European markets, our focus is in the Euro spec, which features a tapering roof line and up swept D-pillar. The EU-spec i10 also receives LED daytime running lights along the edge of the fog-light bezels. Comfort and convenience features include new soft-touch dashboard, a heated leather steering wheel, cruise control and keyless entry. Six airbags, tyre pressure monitoring and electronic stability control are also part of the safety equipment list.
The 2014 Hyundai i10 will be powered by the existing 1.0- and 1.2-litre petrol engines, while a new 1.1-litre 3-cylinder turbo-diesel will be available in India. It’s unknown whether the diesel model will make it to other international markets, but more news will become available at Frankfurt.
