Hyundai Motor’s successful i10 has been enhanced with new advanced active safety and connectivity features from the segments above, as well as modern design refinements, including the new signature Cascading front grille.
“New i10 showcases great build quality with our passion for details, while also including many features from the segments above,” said Thomas A. Schmid, Chief Operating Officer at Hyundai Motor Europe. “The excellent total package representing great value has made the i10 one of the best-selling cars in its class and popular with customers across Europe – a success story that the New i10 is set to carry on.”
Refined design highlights and an enhanced ride
New i10 comes with many design refinements for a more emotionally appealing look, including the new Cascading front grille. It is characterised by its curved natural flowing line and will become the new family identity for Hyundai models in the future.
New i10 introduces a new design of 14-inch steel or alloy wheel. Enhancements in ride and handling, for instance due to a larger front bump stopper and modified steering gear ratio, round off New i10’s segment-leading package.
Like its predecessor New i10 will come with the proven choice of two gasoline engines, 1,0-litre and 1,25-litre, driving the front wheels through five-speed manual as standard or four-speed automatic gearboxes. The BlueDrive™ model, based on the 1,0 gasoline variant, includes a number of features to reduce fuel consumption. New i10 is also offered as a 1,0-litre liquid-petroleum gas (LPG) factory-fitted option.
A great package of connectivity, convenience and active safety
The New i10 makes advanced technology available to more people than ever before. Responding to customer demand for single connectivity features, New i10 includes the latest connectivity features, all integrated into the new seven-inch touch screen navigation system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto guarantee seamless integration, safe operation and mirrored functionality of mobile devices based on iOS or the Android operating system.
On the convenience side, the New i10 scores with the tried and tested feature package of his predecessor: automatic air conditioning, heated steering wheel and front seat warmers, make it an ideal companion for every weather condition and every activity. Up to five people fit into the roomy interior and the segment-leading trunk volume of 252 litres offers generous stowage.
Made in Europe, for Europe – the i10 success story
Since its introduction back in 2008 the i10 has been a major success story for Hyundai Motor with around 670,000 units sold by July 2016. That makes it one of the best-selling cars in this segment in recent years.
The original i10 alone with its unique value for money offer achieved over half a million sales in seven years between 2008 and 2014. When the second-generation i10 was introduced in late 2013 the model truly became a European car – designed and developed at the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center (HMETC) in Rüsselsheim, Germany, and manufactured at Hyundai Assan Otomotive Sanayi (HAOS) in ĺzmit, Turkey.
