Hyundai refreshed the Atos' second generation in 2003, after four years since the model's introduction.
While the first generation and the non-facelifted version of the second generation showed an MPV design style, the carmaker decided to make the car looks more like a tall hatchback than a small-segment minivan.
The 2003 model came with wider, rectangular headlights and corner-mounted turn-signals. Thus, it got rid of the weird headlights from the 1999 model and introduced a redesigned grille that sported a reversed trapezoidal shape crossed by three chromed slats. But the Korean carmaker couldn't get rid of the tall greenhouse, so it stayed the same. The rear showed a different design for the taillights, with a butterfly-like clear lens over the reversing light's area.
Inside, the dashboard featured an open storage area in front of the passenger side. At the same time, the driver received a three-dial instrument cluster with the speedometer flanked on the sides by unusually large gauges for the coolant-temperature and fuel-level. Depending on the trim-level, the Atos offered an audio system on the center stack and an air-conditioning unit. Hyundai installed the HVAC controls below the stereo. In the back, Hyundai kept the 50/50 split-folding and tumble bench.
Since it was designed as a commuter vehicle, Hyundai installed a new 1.1-liter gasoline engine paired as standard to a five-speed manual gearbox, while a four-speed automatic was available as an option.
