Spyshots: 2014 Hyundai i10 First Photos

Early last year, Hyundai revealed the first images of the i10 facelift before the car became fully available later in the year. The biggest change for the model was the introduction of a 1.0-liter Kappa engine, a three-cylinder that offers better economy as well as more power than the 1.1-liter ‘Epsilon”. But the car also got some serious cosmetic changes that were largely well received.

Hyundai is a global brand now, and model launches are usually staggered, first appearing in Korea, followed by Europe and the US. So even though the Indian-built i10 facelift has been on the European market for a year, they are already working on a new version.

Yes, under that bagged camouflage is a brand new car. The changes over the current i10 aren’t that substantial, but we can see an evolution in design. The lower bumper peaking under the camo appears sportier and, while the side profile is cleaner.

The indicators have been moved to the bottom of the mirrors and the shape of the rear glass surface is slightly more elongated.

The brand new i10 could be fully unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show and should debut in Europe early in 2014.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
