Inovev forecasts 100,000 new Hyundai i10s per year
- Car manufacturers are gradually moving away from small A-segment cars on the European market, as these models account for less than 10% of the European market year after year.
- Ford has ended the Ka+ ‘s career, Opel has discontinued the Adam and the Karl, Smart will stop marketing Fortwo and Forfour in two years' time and Lancia will probably stop marketing Ypsilon next year. Finally, Peugeot and Citroën announced the upcoming end of the 108 and C1. However, Korean manufacturers Hyundai and Kia are continuing to produce their entry-level models, the i10 and Picanto. Hyundai has just renewed its i10 model produced in Turkey.
- The new generation is presented in a completely revised form but which tends to be closer to the Kia Picanto (marketed since 2017) with which it shares its platform. The new Hyundai i10 is therefore presented as a small five-door sedan with slightly: increased dimensions : 3.67m long (+2cm compared to the previous generation), 1.68m wide (+2cm) and 1.52m high (+2cm). In fact, it is a little larger ( a few centimeters ) than the Kia Picanto.
- The new Hyundai i10 will have a 3-cylinder 1.0 l petrol engine developing 67 hp. No diesel or hybrid engines are planned for this model. The i10 sold in Europe will still be manufactured at the Turkish Izmit site, alongside the Hyundai i20 (B segment ). Inovev expects 100,000 annual sales of the new i10 produced in Turkey.
- The Hyundai i10 is also produced in India for the local market.
