Hyundai ix20 MPV Paris motor show preview

By George Skentzos |

Hyundai has announced plans to unveil a new B-segment MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle) at the Paris motor show which it has named the Hyundai ix20.

This first teaser sketch shows that this new model will be a striking departure from the typical ‘boxy’ minivan stereotype, instead adopting a more dynamic and sportier profile in line which Hyundai has become known for in recent times.

Having been designed and developed at Hyundai’s European R&D centre in Rüsselsheim, Germany, the Hyundai ix20 will become the brand’s second European car to adopt the brand’s ‘fluidic sculpture’ design language, after the Hyundai ix35.

Hyundai will also use the Paris motor show to make the world premiere of its upgraded Hyundai i10 city car – including a new 1.0-litre engine with CO2 emissions of just 99 g/km.

Lastly, Hyundai will showcase the latest developments from its Blue Drive eco-focused program highlighting new environmental technologies set to contribute further to reductions in emissions from new Hyundai vehicles.

    I am guessing this will be a competitor to the Suzuki SX4? I questioned the viability of that sized AWD when the SX4 landed but it’s been a success story and proved me wrong.

    Hyundai appear to be slowly plugging the holes in the segments and when (if) they finally do a one tonne ute they will have pretty much all of the mainstream classes covered.

      The ix20 will most likely go up against cars such as the Opel Meriva in Europe, not the SX4, which is more like an ugly cross between an SUV and a hatchback.

      Wouldn’t be surprised if Hyundai builds a ute in future…

    I reckon it will change to ix25, its too similar to i20.

    Also when is Hyundai going to bring Blue Drive to the Australian public?
