► First look at facelifted Hyundai i10
► Official pictures revealed
► Coming in the second half of 2023
Hyundai (now pronounced Hyun-day) has updated its compact i10 city-slicker. Featuring a fresh look inside and out, it also now comes in an i10 N Line variant that promises to riff on the sporty N lines of the brand’s bigger, performance models.
A new look
Sportier than before but still compact, the i10 is no Ioniq 5 or Ioniq 6, but it now better resembles its larger and i20 and i30 siblings. Nine colours are available – that’s two more than before – and the headlamps have been tweaked too: the DRL’s have been nicely blended into the i10’s honeycomb grille, making for a neater and more aggressive front-end. The rear of the car also gets a reworked LED signature – as it the norm for cars in the 20s – and it’ll run on 15-inch alloys.
And the interior?
Inside, expect a slightly more of a premium feel. There’s blue ambient lighting for the front passengers, GTI style-tartan on the seats as an option and additional purple highlights around the vents and on stitching.
Tech-wise you’ll find new additions such as 4.2-inch instrument cluster, modern USB type-C chargers and OTA updates (Over-The-Air) for the native navigation system. An 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple Carplay support remains, as does wireless charging.
Forward collision assistance as well as lane-keeping tech also remains as standard.
What about the N Line model?
The aforementioned N Line model gets sportier bumpers along with red touches to the exterior, and it runs on fractionally larger 16-inch allow wheels.
When’s it coming to the UK?
The new i10 will be produced at Hyundai’s plant in Izmit, Turkey in April 2023, with cars expected to hit European roads in the second half of the year.
