Hyundai i20 coupe in works

Hyundai has revealed a single sketch of the new body style, which it is calling the i20 coupe. This three-door variant of the new Hyundai i20 will be available internationally in 2015. The new Hyundai i20 is the second generation of the i20 hatchback.

This European version i20 differs slightly from the Elite i20, recently launched in India. The coupe is based on the European model. The sketch shows how the three-door i20 coupe will be differentiated from its five-door sibling. It features a more sharply raked roofline and a spoiler at the rear of the roof to enhance its sportier positioning compared to the more practical five-door.

Hyundai says the new variant “promises to combine driving fun, a distinctive character and sporty refinement, with the enhanced practicality and quality already previewed in its five-door sibling”. The three-door will go into production in February 2015 and is expected to reach international markets in March or April 2015.
