You can never have too many Korean three-door hatchbacks! Just a couple of days after the Kia Pro_Cee’d was revealed, the sister brand came out with the three-door version of the i30 hatchback, known as the Elantra GT in the US.
Hyundai says this three-door market niche filler has been "designed, engineered and manufactured in Europe, for Europe," featuring fresh styling from the A-pillars back. The 3-door has more muscular rear wings and touches for the grille and front bumper.

The Engine range offered with this car will include the same units as the i30 and i30 Tourer, basically 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter diesel and gasoline units with outputs from 90 to 128 PS.

Pricing and more information should be revealed at the i30 3-door’s unveiling at the Paris Motor Show.

autoevolution will be attending the Paris Motor Show 2012, so stay tuned for some real up close and personal shots of the vehicles, as well as for first-hand details of the motorized contraptions presented at the event.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
