Hyundai ix20 teaser

Hyundai will reveal a brand new hatchback called the ix20 at this month’s Paris Motor Show. This new car is based on the 2008 HED-5 concept car and is expected to go on sale in 2011 in select markets around the world, possibly in India as well.

The ix20 was designed and developed at Hyundai’s European R&D centre in Germany and therefore boasts of European design cues and a taut exterior as can be seen from this teaser image which Hyundai has released. The ix20 is a large hatch and will be launched with a choice diesel and petrol engines and with manual and automatic tranmission.

If launched in India the ix20′s futuristic looks would surely win favor with hatchback buyers who are incresingly willing to pay more money for large and feature rich hatchbacks. More details are expected nearer to the car’s debut in Paris.
