Hyundai officially unveiled the 2017 i10 facelift ahead of the Paris Motor Show late last September and the real car was up for spectators’ display much to the delight. The car features a stylish appearance compared to the outgoing model. Up for sale in European and other markets already, the hatchback is finally launched in India, mimicking the Euro-spec i10’s exterior largely.
For Hyundai, two models constantly pumping volumes. The i twins in the compact hatchback and premium segment have not aged much but in order to have a sustained sales growth, the South Korean brand brings upgrade with modern styling touches. The global markets have seen the i10 flaunting new active safety and connectivity features but for India its interior remains the same except for some necessary additions.

The engines configured to return 19.7 kmpl petrol mileage and around 24.95 kmpl fuel economy for new 1.2 diesel variants.
The side profile will remain as it currently is with high-end grades featuring door garnished molding and chrome-coated outside handles with smart key entry. Rear glass wiper, integrated thin roof spoiler with stop lamp, a new set of alloy wheels and rear combination lights will add character to the compact hatchback. The bumpers up front and rear have received changes to ensure an aggressive face.
