Hyundai i20 Coupe shown in official sketch

This sketch is proof of Hyundai’s commitment to grow the Hyundai i20 supermini range. The coupe shown here will follow on from the new five-door 2015 Hyundai i20, which will be shown at the Paris Motor Show next month.

The new Hyundai i20 Coupe has a sleeker roofline than the standard car, with a distinctive rear spoiler and a ‘wraparound’ rear windscreen.

Although the sketch shows a car that’s more sporting than the next-generation five-door i20, it will share the new model’s in-car tech – expected to include a rear parking camera, lane departure warning and higher-quality trim.

There is no official word on the i20 Coupe’s engine line-up, but it is likely the more powerful 99bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine will feature in the line-up.

A faster Hyundai i20N performance model is expected to follow in due course. That model is likely to be powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine and will be developed at the Nurburgring race track in Germany.
