Hyundai unveils all-new i10 city car

Hyundai has unveiled the all-new i10. The petrol-powered city car will offer more interior space and get a sporty N-line trim when it goes on sale in early 2020. Prices are expected to start in the region of £9500.

The 2020 i10 will provide better comfort and refinement, say Hyundai, while the new sporty N-line trim level (pictured here) should provide some warm hatch appeal.

From launch, the new Hyundai i10 is sold with a 100PS three-cylinder 1.0-litre T-GDi engine with 172Nm of torque. Buyers can also spec a four-cylinder 1.2-litre MPi engine with 84PS and 118Nm of torque - both are linked to five-speed manual gearbox as standard, while an automated manual will be an optional extra. 

The interior should provide better space for the driver and passengers, with the 2020 i10 being 10mm longer and 20mm wider than the outgoing model. Bootspace is unchanged, however, with the i10 providing 252 litres with the rear seats in place.  

Hyundai has only release interior pictures of the warm hatch i10N version. This includes an N-branded steering wheel and gearstick, while the dashboard gets red air vents and ventilation controls. A pair of sports seats for the driver and front passenger complete the N makeover. 

The i10 will be offered with an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto compatibility. Wireless phone charging and a rear-view camera will also be available.  

Fuel economy and CO2 ratings are still to be confirmed, but the 1.2-litre MPi engine is expected to return up to 53mpg and 121g/km. The i10 will also retain its nimble city-friendly nature, with a turning radius of just five metres. 

The 2020 Hyundai i10 will go on sale in early 2020 and be backed by a five-year-warranty as standard. The N-line trim level will - in styling at least - put the i10 alongside the i30 N hatcback and Fastback.
