Hyundai teases all-new model before Frankfurt debut

Hyundai teases all-new model before Frankfurt debut-hyundaiallnewmodelforeuropeteaser1200x628.jpg

Quote:
Based on what is shown to us, the model will feature a “floating” roof thanks to a blacked-out pillar that is pinched at the top and bottom for a more dynamic profile. Whether this is applied on a hatchback or crossover body remains to be seen, but the positioning of the taillight close to the rear door does suggest a compact offering.

In its release, Hyundai says it’s inviting customers to “go big” with its new model, which will offer new exterior and interior design, as well as plenty of connectivity and safety features to make it a leader in its class.

Just what this class is, no one knows, but it’s rumoured the new model will be a small crossover positioned below the Kona. Given the Venue, which is indeed smaller than the Kona, is not currently planned to come to Europe, this is certainly a possibility. Of course, we’ll only know more in the months leading up to the Frankfurt Motor Show to find out.

Doesn't look like it is Venue to my eye, do they have another compact SUV up their sleeves?

This could be the Euro Spec Grand i10 as the India-spec car will be out before this.

Frankfurt show is in September so that's after the India unveil.

Current gen Grand i10 and Euro i10 are different cars to some extent.

From the spied images, Next Gen Grand i10 looks a bit sharper towards the end but this is more curvy with floating roof effect. As you mentioned, yeah the design could differ on both versions to some extent like the current gen. I don't understand why they have to change the design from Indian spec to Euro spec. Why can't they simply maintain same design?

Our emphasis on the rear-half of the cabin, which isn't that important to Europeans (sit on the backseat of a C-Class and you'll know!). The current Grand i10 is longer, has a bigger wheelbase (legroom), with a larger door & window as compared to the Euro-spec car. Ours also gets a rear air-con .

It could be the next GEN. i20 speculated to have a 'sporty design, and has been spied testing extensively in Europe.

guess? Hyundai’s European arm is preparing either an all-new i20 light hatch, or its own subcompact crossover since it doesn’t offer the Venue in EU

The door (shut) line is different in the teaser. Although I acknowledge that even the upcoming euro i20's image is a render, but they would not get it to be so wrong, about presence of the D-pillar glass.
