I still remember when the first generation of the Hyundai Atos arrived in Europe. But also for the most geeks I leave a question, what about the Prime? Surely you also remember when the Korean house launched what was to be its most luxurious version as it presented certain exclusive design details. Well, over the years that ugly duckling became a beautiful swan that, luckily, left behind that "sad" name. Does the Hyundai i10 ring a bell, right...?
As you well know, the i10 is a technical clone of the Picanto that Kia sells.. However, as was the case in its first generations, its designs and finishes are different in each case. Well, in the current generation the same thing happens and now the asian house presents to the world a half commercial cycle restyling. With it they want and are eager to put a stop to the success of the Fiat Panda and 500 but, in addition, attract young people who had never believed in them...
The small, and flirtatious, Hyundai i10 looks fresher and more attractive and the sporty N-Line version also looks more “cheeky”…
As you can see in the images, the aesthetics of the current Hyundai i10 is very attractive. But after spending "a few months" in the operating room, he looks fresher and more youthful lines. In addition, the version of N-Line sports dyes adds specific ornaments that give it a more "racing" touch. All in all, the main evolution of the i10 can be seen in how the lines that shape the front grill become more aggressive, especially due to the new Led daytime running lights.
Depending on the version chosen, they have one design or another., but they also have accents in red. And not only that, the body debuts new tones to dress as well as specific alloy wheels. It will be the access versions that are satisfied with the new 15-inch ones, but the N-Line version "indulges" and "fits" a 16-inch one. Already, behind closed doors, changes are also appreciated small but good
First of all, it stands out for the inclusion of a new upholstery in seats as well as decorative moldings on the doors or the dashboard. Now the fabric is of the Scottish type with vertical lines in a purple tone, the same color that also extends through the seams or the air vents. There is also no need for a new one LED lighting in blue at the feet of the front passenger, a configurable digital instrument panel or a new central touch screen.
Regarding safety, Hyundai indicates that Forward Collision Avoidance Assist is able to detect cyclists. Where the Asian brand does not affirm or deny changes is in the mechanical section. Therefore, we will have to wait until April and the reason is because it will be then when production starts at the factory they have in the city of Izmit (Turkey)...
