The makeover as usual depicts the change in the fascia of the car proffering a new look to the grille, headlamps and the fog lamps. However, it’s the ‘fluidic’ design that has become quite popular of late, first with Verna followed by Eon to carry the lineage forward. It is just a vague sweeping look on the spotted car, which doesn’t leave us which ample information to cover on the interior aspects of the car. Moreover, the hint on the makeover comes out of the blue without any contribution from Hyundai India, which has no hand in the speculations whatsoever.

The 1.2 L Kappa petrol engine is mated with a 5-speed manual gear box and the 1.4 L Gamma petrol motors is equipped with a 4-speed automatic gearbox to produce 100 PS peak power and finally a 1.4 L CRDi engine is quite promising on the fuel efficiency front delivering 23 kmpl on highways.
