Hyundai ix20 new addition to the facelift of the i10 ready for the auto show in Paris. We saw earlier what's leak but this is the real stuff, or you have too high of doubt it is. The i10 takes the greatest lines on the ix35 crossover. Like ix20 means that a new grille and new headlamps. Inside it would all have to feel a little better.

Under the hood lurks a new three-cylinder 1 liter lung capacity and 68 hp vermogen. CO2 emissions are limited to 99 g / km. We also see a slightly more powerful 1.2 petrol engine will also be more economical in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The 1.1 petrol engine was removed from the range. The i10 is from January sale at the dealer, he will of course be on the auto show in Paris.

The sketch on September 2nd we got on our plate and it looked exciting. The final production model is unfortunately not. Hyundai ix20 has been asked to intervene in the MPV segment, Opel Meriva and especially to attract customers. The ix20 is the sister of the Kia was Venga and design elements with the greatest brother ix35 (click for the driving test), as the grille and headlights. In the UK it is on sale from November 11, how do we know that Belgium is not.

The price was 16,000 euros, is as expensive as the Opel Meriva. Hyundai says that when you get them most of the standard: air conditioning, ESP, start-stop, Bluetooth and a pack airbags. A nice standard package, that's for sure. Under the hood hiding two petrol and one diesel unit. Fuel tank up a 1.4 with 90 hp or a 1.6 with 126 hp. Diesel tank you again in a 1.4 liter 90 hp also. The diesel unit was 114 g / km CO2.

The ix20 get the 'smart grille "in front, like the Opel Astra ecoFLEX. Grille that contains a shutter which opens at low engine speeds to ventilate and closes at high speeds to improve airflow. This clearly serves to lower consumption.

There are new spy photos of 2012 Hyundai Veloster

Production Hyundai i-flow planned for 2011; showcar previews diesel hybrid system and new eco ideas

The Hyundai i-flow is one of the significant concept cars at Geneva, not just because it looks dramatic, but because under that heavily sculpted skin is a range of latest tech that could appear in Hyundai’s next generation of cars. Powering the i-flow is the company’s first diesel-electric hybrid powertrain consisting of a U2 1.7-litre oil burner with two-stage turbocharging and Hyundai’s lithium ion-polymer battery. Coupled to a six-speed, dual-clutch transmission, the drivetrain is capable of 33.3 km/l and a low CO2 output of 85g/km.

The i-flow is also a test bed for new energy harvesting ideas, ranging from a flexible solar panel roofing to a thermo-electric generator developed in partnership with leading chemical company BASF. One such idea is thermal engine encapsulation, which ensures that the engine reaches optimum operating temperature more quickly by retaining heat when the car is idle. Hyundai says that this translates into fuel savings and emissions cuts of 5% during summer and up to 9% in winter. The thermo-electric generator meanwhile recaptures energy from hot exhaust gases and converts it to electrical energy to help power auxiliary systems.

Designed at Hyundai’s European studio in Russelsheim, the i-flow sports the firm’s “fluidic sculpture” design language. With an overall length of 4,780 mm and a 2,800 mm wheelbase, the i-flow is a Honda Accord sized D-segment contender that is set to hit the market in 2011. It remains to be seen how much of the i-flow’s styling is retained for production, but things look promising with the recent Korean realisation that advanced design is as important as making competent cars.

Live pictures from Geneva and official images are after the jump!

Hyundai i-flow Concept to debut at Geneva 2010

The sketch above previews the Hyundai i-flow concept, which will make its world debut at the Geneva show at the end of this month. Hyundai says this concept will preview a future D-segment competitor – but really, is it time for a new D-segment competitor so soon when the Sonata has just been revealed? The Sonata already has a coupe-like roofline so it would be quite overkill for them to do a “Passat CC CC” with another take on a D-segment car.

This is just a hunch but it could be possible that what Hyundai meant in its press release as D-segment is different from what we normally consider as D-segment cars. In the US, what we call D-segment cars are CD-segment cars. The Camry is a CD car, while Toyota’s D car is the Avalon. Hyundai had a model like that – the Azera, and it was even sold here in Malaysia. The Azera was first launched in 2005 and it’s about time for a 5-year lifecycle full replacement model to arrive!

This new concept car could be slotted in between the Sonata and the Genesis as Hyundai’s most expensive front wheel drive executive car (taking the place of the Azera) before we start to enter Genesis rear wheel drive territory. But then again I could be wrong and this is really a “double CC” version of the Sonata.

The same press release also says this new i-flow concept will be used by chemical company BASF (there’s a good chance you use BASF products in your car everyday – they make petrol additives too) as a platform to showcase some technology such as lightweight materials, and solar cells.

New Hyundai Sonata and Tucson coming in April!

Hyundai Sime Darby will be a very busy company in 2010, and the first launches we can expect from them this year is the introduction of the new Sonata YF and Tucson SUV, which is scheduled for April. Both cars will be imported CBU from Korea, and our source has also revealed the variants that will be brought in.

The sixth-generation Sonata, codenamed YF, will come with two Theta II engines – a 163 bhp/198 Nm 2.0-litre and a 176 bhp/228 Nm 2.4-litre, mirroring the engine options of its D-segment Japanese rivals. Not only the Sonata’s figures compare very well with its competitors, it also has a six-speed automatic gearbox (Accord and Camry 2.4 have five forward ratios) which is self-developed and claimed to be “maintainence free”.

The Tucson SUV will also ship with these two engines and the six-speed auto ‘box. If you want 4WD, opt for the 2.4-litre model, as the 2.0-litre Tucson will be front-wheel drive only. Hyundai’s Theta II, which is a development of the GEMA world engine, is 10kg lighter than its predecessor, more frugal, cleaner and comes with Dual CVVT. The latest GDI direct injection engines won’t reach our shores however, due to below par fuel quality.

Spec levels for these two cars will be competitive and prices will undercut their immediate rivals, which we take as the Honda CR-V for the Tucson, Accord and Camry for the Sonata. You may have noticed the Arab number plates on these pictures; they were snapped this afternoon as we have been test driving the new Hyundais in Muscat, Oman. Unfortunately, we cannot share our impressions with you yet as the story is embargoed, but do stay tuned for updates as the launch date nears. Let’s just say for now that these new entries have great showroom appeal and are very decent to drive

Hyundai Genesis Coupe SE

The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe SE was shown to the world recently in New York and the stunning silver color with amazing window treatment looks simply unbelievable.

The 2010 Genesis will be a whopping 310HP and it will have the option of either a 4-cyl or V6. Whichever you choose won’t make a difference for the transmission as it comes with a six speed manual transmission on both models. The noise being talked around the release of this vehicle is the fact that it sends most of the power to the rear wheels making it super fast and great to control. It has custom Brembro brakes installed with each car. You can expect to see 19” rims on the car when you get it but that is easily customizable and will also make yours stand out amongst others.

There is no set figure for the cost of each Genesis but it has been said that it will be the cheapest 300HP coupe on the market when it hits in 2009. The engine will be able to power the Genesis from 0-60MPH in less than six seconds and the engine also uses lightweight techniques and products to make the engine more lightweight as well as thermal efficiency which helps keep the engine at a safe temperature.

There are some nice custom features included on the vehicle which include HID lights which are far better for night driving and seeing through bad weather, great stereo and audio system as well as great safety features. The vehicle shouldn’t cost much more then $30,000 - $40,000 when it’s released in 2010 and if there were any drawbacks I would say the interior could be improved quite a bit as it seems done cheaply. The 2010 Genesis is in production and the final prices and specs will be released as we near closer to the release of this wicked performance vehicle.

Hyundai Preview For ‘08 Geneva Motor Show

Hyundai made an official announcement about their participation at the Geneva Motor Show next month. It seems like they will unveil a series of world premieres - the HED-5 Concept, the new version of the Matrix and a range of environmental-friendly vehicles.

The HED-5 Concept is a six-seat MPV, also environmental-friendly and is supposed to be one of the most versatile car of its class and it would bring a series of revolutionary materials. About the Matrix we can only say that it’s going to be a facelifted version and they categorized it as a “must see”.

Hyundai promises that its green cars can achieve the same performances as the petrol cars. The South Korean automaker also talked about a debut - the 2008 Matrix mini MPV, a “fashion” car.
