Opening
The new hatchback model in the small car segment from Hyundai has been launched in India. With Shahrukh Khan as its brand ambassador, this car is all set to lure the customers in the small car segment and give a head on competition to all its Maruti models in the same segment.

car for Hyundai motors and is going to be shipped across the world. Congested
roads, heavy traffic loads, long jams can all heartily welcome this compact
hatchback model from Hyundai that is a pleasure reeling on the roads. It
promises to easily thread through city traffic and be pleasure in the tight
parking lots.

and 1.595m wide and a wheel base of 2.38m that rolls on 1.1 litre 65bhp petrol
engine. You can also find its 1200cc diesel version. All models of i10 have
standard air conditioning, come with power windows in the front, central
locking, power-steering, body-colored bumpers, CD player, tinted glass and 14
inch alloy wheels. The kappa engine with aluminum cylinder block has helped
Hyundai to reduce the weight and yet improve the power of the car. It has a
seating capacity of four people with tyres pushed back to give more leg space as

models but may not be preferred by those who like lighter interiors. The
complete exteriors and interiors are designed for superior styling and give
maximum comfort to those who would love to own a car with superb style and value
for money comforts.

new customers to Hyundai and definitely retain the Hyundai lovers who are loyal
Santro customers.

exported to the western countries in 2008. It is expected to eventually phase
out Hyundai's Atos (Santro in India) in European and other countries. India is
going to be the sole global exporting and manufacturing hub for this car which
is code named 'Pa'. Moreover, the European version would also have additional
