2014 Hyundai i10 European version unveiled !

 Hyundai i10 has been critically acclaimed for its peppy handling for a car of its price and A-segment. The 2nd generation of i10 is designed and developed in the Europe and has grown in terms of exterior dimension. It is now 80mm longer, 65mm wider, has 5mm longer wheelbase but 50mm lower than the outgoing i10. Boot space has increased by 10% to 252 litres too, that's larger than 2nd gen Myvi's by 44 litres!

 The European-spec i10 will have climate control, heated leather steering wheel, cruise control and safety features such as electronic stability control and front curtain airbags as standard.

 There's a huge chance that Hyundai will offer two petrol engine options for the European market: a 1.0 litre engine and a 1.2 litre engine. Not sure which engine will be available for the i10 when it reaches Malaysia. Will they be the same (or upgraded) 1.1 litre and 1.25 litre engines found in the current i10?

With a much better styling and most likely better performance and handling, the 2nd gen i10 is set to be another A-segment hatchback to pay your attention to. It's going to face a tough competition from the all-new Kia Picanto, which is planned to be launched in Malaysia in the end of 2013.
