Hyundai new MPV, the ix20, to make world debut at Paris Motor Show
Written By Alison Bell Published On: Sep 02 2010 Hyundai will be showing off its new B-segment MPV, the ix20, for the first time at the Paris Motor Show next month. Pictures released today show that the new model is a striking departure from the boxy ‘minivan’ image typically associated with the segment, but has adopted a more dynamic, sportier profile.
Designed and developed at Hyundai’s European R&D centre in Rüsselsheim, Germany, the ix20 is the second European car, following the ix35, to adopt Hyundai’s new ‘fluid’ design. Hyundai is marketing the car as having a crossover-like versatility – a vehicle with the ability to simultaneously serve as a functional people-carrier while providing a dynamic, fun-to-drive experience.Another model making its world premiere at Paris is the new i10. This upgraded version of Hyundai’s popular city car has been given enhancements in terms of design, specification and competiveness – including a new 1.0-litre engine with CO2 emissions of 99 g/km.The international motor show will also give the car maker the opportunity to showcase the latest developments of its Blue DriveTM eco-focused program. The company is targeting global leadership in environmental technologies, and the new models look set to contribute further to reductions in emissions from new Hyundai vehicles sold in Europe.Hyundai has extended its display area at this year’s show by 66%, in order to showcase the company’s broad product line-up and new technologies.More news of Hyundai’s Paris star cars will be published in advance of the show, which opens to the public on October 2, and will be available on the stand.
