New Hyundai i30 revealed

The current Hyundai i30 may have only been around since 2007, but this month’s Frankfurt Motor Show will see the public debut of its successor.

Like the original version, the 2012 model has been styled and engineered in Europe. It incorporates Hyundai’s latest ‘fluidic sculpture’ design language, which has resulted in a more distinctive front end and a stronger profile.

Arguably it’s also very reminiscent of the Mazda 3 from some angles, but at least the new i30 manages to be less anonymous than the previous one.

No technical data or specifications have been released yet, but it seems that Hyundai is hoping its new addition will increase the brand’s appeal.

Allan Rushforth, Senior Vice President and COO of Hyundai Motor Europe, said: “We expect the new-generation i30 to appeal to young, progressive buyers who want a car that not only performs well but looks great too. In this way, the new-generation i30 will contribute to future sales success, growing brand awareness and improving perceptions of Hyundai among European consumers.”
