GOOD LOOKING The new Hyundai i20 carries the brand's current design language which premiered on the i30 small hatchback

By Justin Lee

MAKING ITS WORLD premiere at the Paris Motor Show is Hyundai’s Getz replacement. Called the i20, it follows the naming system which made its debut on the i30 small hatchback.

It was designed at Hyundai’s European design centre in Russelsheim, Germany and the stylish new five-door is built on an all new platform. It has a longer wheelbase and much more interior space than its predecessor

In keeping with the i30, the i20 features the Korean car maker’s corporate grille and teardrop headlamps at the front, while striking stacked rear light clusters give the rear end a distinctive look.
