It’s just been a short while since the Hyundai Elite i20 made its global debut and already the South Korean automaker has put up pictures of the European spec 2015 Hyundai i20 which will make its official debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show next month.
The 2015 Hyundai i20 gets exactly the same design as the Elite i20 right down to the blacked out C-pillars and curvy 16-inch alloy wheels. While the Elite i20 is 3,995 meters, the 2015 i20 is 4,035 metres long and this has stretched its wheelbase by 45mm to 2570mm. The added length means that the i20 gets a boot space of 320-litres which is massive considering its dimensions.
The European-spec car gets LED tail lamps and DRLs, panoramic sunroof and reverse camera. It is expected to get the same feature list and variant nomenclature as the Elite i20 but with safety options that comply with EU regulations.
The engine options are expected to include the 1.2-litre, 1.4-litre diesel, 1.0-litre petrol and the 1.1-three cylinder litre diesel engines. Gearbox options will include a five-speed manual, six-speed manual as well as a four-speed AT. The 2015 i20 will also form the base for a performance version which will be the first car under the South Korean automaker’s ‘N’ brand of vehicles.
