The Paris Motor Show will mark the debut of an all-new car from Hyundai called the i20. Designed at Hyundai's European Design Centre in Russelsheim, Germany, the new five-door is more dynamic in appearance and has a longer wheelbase than the existing Getz, allowing for more interior space.
Following from the i10 and i30, the new car features Hyundai's trademark chrome-topped grille and teardrop headlamps at the front, while stacked rear light clusters give the rear end a distinctive look.
"The i20 was designed and engineered to meet European tastes and needs," said Kun Hee Ahn, President for Hyundai Motor Europe. "It was built on an entirely new platform and much of the ride and handling development took place on European roads, which has created a firm and agile drive."
