New 2017 Hyundai i10 Exterior and Interior – Video
The i10 is positioned at the very bottom of the company’s lineup in Europe. The noteworthy updates include a revised grille that’s loosely inspired by the one found on the brand new i30, round LED daytime running lights cribbed from the Renault Twingo, updated tail lamps, and new-look bumpers on both ends.
Inside, the i10 gains a new infotainment system that’s compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Hyundai has expanded the list of electronic driving aids with a lane departure warning system and a front collision warning system.
There are no major mechanical changes to report. That means the base model carries on with a naturally-aspirated 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine rated at 66 horsepower and 70 pound-feet of torque. More expensive trims benefit from a 1.2-liter four-cylinder that delivers 87 horsepower and 88 pound-feet of torque.
Front-wheel drive and a five-speed manual transmission come standard, and both engines can be bolted to an antiquated four-speed automatic transmission at an extra cost.
The 2017 Hyundai i10 will go on sale shortly after it greets the show-going public in the French capital. At the time of writing Hyundai has no plans to sell the i10 on our shores due to its truly tiny size.
