New Hyundai i10 spied, car maker could rush launch before Maruti Alto 800 checks in
The small car Maruti Alto 800 is coming on October 16 and it is high time that Hyundai brings in a counter product to it. It will be too soon if the Koreans go for an entirely new product and hence it is time for the Hyundai i10 to get a facelift, a makeover that will not only make it charming but also frugal than the other cars in its segment. Notably, Hyundai has already launched the CNG kit for Hyundai i10 and with that the i10 become too inexpensive to run. Now that the new i10 is coming, there is in all probability that there will be high volume buying this Diwali. However, there are no signs of its as of now but dealers across the nation are receiving end number of queries related to cars in India.

The new i10 will not be just another car as the car is going to have much more than the replacement of the front grille, headlamps, fog lamps or the tail lamps. It is expected that the under the hood department may see some changes as Hyundai might be in the process of bringing some more fuel efficiency to the car. In addition to this the i10 Diesel is highly anticipated and if it comes out to be true, believe it or not, the car will be breaking all records. It will then be selling even better than Chevrolet Beat Diesel or any other diesel car in the segment. Also, it is high time for Hyundai to launch a diesel car in the small car segment as all its entry level cars such as Hyundai Eon, Hyundai Santro and i10 are petrol driven only. The introduction of CNG kit yesterday is a little breather but availability of CNG is restricted to metros.

A i10 that was just spied has a lot of changes to be seen. The test mule spotted in Chennai has tried to disguise itself but the changes are so vociferous that these reflect even out of the garb. It seems that i10 has grown a bit and that indicates that the Fluidic sculpture is on the new i10 as well. The front and rear bumpers, head lamps and tail lamps as well as grille have undergone drastic changes and are more in consonance with the ones on the Hyundai Verna or the Hyundai Elantra.
