Hyundai teases next-generation i20

Production Cars 5 Aug 2014

Hyundai has released the first official sketches that preview the new i20, the B-segment car developed at the company’s Design Center Europe and inspired by the Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design philosophy.

The new version of Hyundai’s popular B-segment model features the brand’s ‘Fluidic Sculpture 2.0’: among the main design elements are the long hood, the sculpted body sides and generous package which create a powerful stance.

The overall architecture is clear and simple, with the cabin sitting cleanly on the body. In profile, the dark treatment of the C-pillar visually accentuates the car’s length.

The front presents a new interpretation of the Hyundai hexagonal grille and a new thin horizontal strip connecting the headlamps.

At the back, the wrap-around rear window and unique treatment for the lamp clusters combine with the car’s hatchback proportions to create a distinctive design.

The New Generation i20 was designed at Hyundai Motor’s Design Centre Europe in Rüsselsheim, Germany.

More details about New Generation i20 will be released ahead of its world premiere at the Mondial de l’Automobile 2014 in Paris in October.

Also check the spy shots published by team-bhp.com just a few days ago, where the i20 can be seen practically undisguised.
