Hyundai to launch all new i10 by end of 2013

(Disclaimer: Image for representation only)

Expected: End of 2013, Price: Rs.3.5-6 lakh

The i10 was a huge success story for Hyundai when it was launched, but with competition upping their game over the years, the i10 hasn’t been able to sustain its sales figures. For 2013, Hyundai wants to address this issue by launching an all-new version of the i10. The spy pictures indicate that the new car will be longer and wider than the old car, and with increased wheelbase expect the car to be more spacious and roomier. The small car will have its styling based on the critically acclaimed “Fluidic Sculpture” design language of Hyundai.

The engine employed in the new car will be the Kappa series 1 and 1.2-litre petrol engines, but the engine which is expected to boost the sales figure of the small car is the new 1.1-litre diesel engine being designed by the Korean company. Like all Hyundais, expect the i10 to have an exhaustive feature list with VFM pricing.
