Hyundai has revealed the third-gen i10 for the European market. The overall design remains similar to the India-spec third-gen i10, the Nios, however there noticeable aesthetic changes and it is also slightly smaller as well.
The Euro-spec i10 gets a new front fascia which features a redesigned front grille with circular housing for LED DRLs, sportier 16-inch alloy wheels, and LED treatment for the taillamps. However, it misses out on the shark-fin antenna that the recently launched Grand i10 Nios sports.
