BETTER PARTSUpdated short goods
Frankfurt am Main, 31 August 2016
Currently, the obsession with beauty is in the Kleinstwagenklasse: KIA has already lifted the Picanto quite some time ago, and VW the up under the knife. Now, Hyundai pulls and freshens up the 2013 introduced i10. The city car at the Paris Motor Show will be officially presented (1 to 16 October 2016).
Moderate retouching
The i10 in Turkey is a best seller for Hyundai, now he is branded internal German sales ranked three. Now is turned so something on the screws, so that he so far 3.66 metres short i10 remains still popular. Owner of a current i10 need not worry, however, because too radically the face lift does not fall out. Front bumper is changed, the look of the front fascia to orient according to Hyundai at the "cascade Grill" of the latest models such as the i20, Tucson or the i30 also in Paris. The previously vertical LED daytime running lights are point-shaped and move slightly inward. Their appearance finds himself in the modified rear bumper with the rear fog lamp.
Finally a Navi from the factory
Most obvious change in the Interior is the new seven-inch navigation system. Additional AppleCarPlay and Android are integrated car to flip so the main Smartphone apps on the touch screen. Navigation, free TomTom Live services with real-time traffic information or local weather information added seven years. Noteworthy: Up to ten years after the end of production, customers get free updates for the maps and the operating system.
More safety on board
Another innovation is owed both the competition and higher requirements for crash tests. A multi function camera in the windshield provides information for a front-end accident warning system and a lane holding Warner. In a threatening front-end collision, the driver is warned acoustically and visually, the lane is 60 km/h according to. Both systems will be probably subject to a surcharge.
Old friends under the hood
Who may be as up had hoped for in the VW, will be disappointed on a small turbo engine. In the future, the i10 program offers only two naturally aspirated engines. Base drive is a three-cylinder with a liter of displacement and 67 HP. is it there with start stop system or as liquefied petroleum gas version. The 1.2 liter four-cylinder is ideal for long distances with 87 HP as standard both units have a manual five-speed transmission, for Schaltfaule is a four-speed automatic in the program. At the price of the optimized i10 Hyundai does not react yet, so far the always five-door car at 9,990 euros starts. (rh)
