HYUNDAI has revealed full details of its award-winnning i10 which has been comprehensively updated.
Chief among the changes are enhancements to the i10’s design which now adopts the look of the recent ix35 and ix20 models.
A new and improved range of Euro V compliant engines also come with the car. An all-new 1.0-litre unit manages 67.3mpg combined, the popular 1.25-litre engine has also been improved giving 13 per cent more power (85bhp), 9.2 per cent less CO2 (108g/km) and 8.7 per cent better fuel consumption (61.4mpg).
To make the most of the efficient new 1.0-litre engine, Hyundai has introduced an all-new model – the i10 Blue. This special ‘eco’ edition of the i10 emits 99g/km CO2, so it gains exemption from VED and the London Congestion Charge, and is the only sub-£10k five-seater car on the market to achieve this.
Blue, Classic, Active and Style are the trims, with four airbags, a six-speaker stereo, electric windows and central locking all as standard on all models. Prices start at £8,195 for the entry-level Classic model.
The model goes on sale March 1, 2011.
