Hyundai Motor has unveiled first images of the New Generation i20, ahead of its world debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

The New Generation i20 has been designed and developed in Europe, and three key attributes in particular underline how it meets the needs of European consumers: interior space, a host of high-technology and comfort-enhancing features, and distinctive, refined design.

Based on a new platform, the New Generation i20 features a 2570 mm wheelbase – 45 mm longer than its predecessor – providing European customers with one of the most spacious cabins in the segment. Efficient packaging has created a passenger compartment that can comfortably seat five adults. Combined front and rear legroom is best in class at 1892 mm. Trunk capacity is also segment-leading: 326 litres when the rear seats are upright.

Enhancing the comfort and the sense of space for driver and passengers is a unique-in-class panoramic sunroof (able to both tilt and fully open).
