Hyundai i20: New Image Gallery and Official Specs

Hyundai i20 2009After a teaser announcement in early September, Hyundai decided to release a new set of images and further details on its new i20 supermini. At the Paris Show we’ll only see a five-door model but according to Hyundai, a sportier three-door i20 version will debut in January 2009. Based on an all-new platfortm with a 2,525mm wheelbase, the i20 is lower, longer and wider than the Getz it replaces. Designed and developed in Europe, the i20’s exterior styling is clearly inspired from the existing i30. -Continued
