New i20 goes on sale next year

A new generation Hyundai i20 slated to go on sale in Europe early next year will debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, writes Brian Byrne.

The new car will be much sleeker than the current competitor in the segment dominated by Ford's Fiesta and similar superminis, according to sketches released by Hyundai.

The new car will be built in Turkey, including the RHD versions. The current car's RHD versions are built in India.



The 'Fluidic Sculpture' styling is similar to that used in the Genesis large car, not sold in Ireland.
