New Delhi: Europe is getting a slightly different Hyundai i10 in the third generation, as it had in the second generation back in 2013. The Euro-spec 2020 Hyundai i10 entered production on the 10th of this month and it will be on sale across the Old Continent from the beginning of next month.
The new generation Hyundai i10 for Europe is identical to the India-spec model but gets a host of changes. This includes a more smartly styled front grille with circular LED daytime running lights in place of the boomerang-shaped ones on the Indian model. The fog lamp housing is different as well and the overall design looks sharper for a sporty look. Other changes include 15-inch alloys with optional 16-inch units; dual-tone paint scheme with a contrast roof and a new tail lamp design that looks sharp.
The third-generation Hyundai i10 made in Turkey has been designed and developed in Germany. Like its predecessor, it’s more stylish than the version sold in India. Similarly, on the contrary, it is not as practical as the India-made car, with a shorter wheelbase. The latest Euro-spec Hyundai i10 has a 2,425 mm wheelbase, while the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios has a 2,450 mm wheelbase. The boot capacity is not as good either (252 litres as against 260 litres).
