Hyundai Elite i20 Facelift
The Elite i20 is still clocking good sales. But to keep up with the competition, Hyundai is going to bring out a facelift of the premium hatchback soon. The updated version is most likely to be showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo and promises a host of changes. The Elite i20 facelift is expected to receive redesigned headlamps and fog lamps, and a redesigned made bumper, which is expected to be similar to the one seen on the Xcent.
Hyundai Ioniq EV
With electric vehicles set to sweep the Indian four-wheeler market soon, Hyundai ought to bring more EVs to the market. Hence, we believe the carmaker could showcase the Ioniq EV to the 2018 Auto Expo. The Ioniq EV is powered by a 28kWh lithium-ion battery pack and has a range of 180km. However, will it be offered with the same powertrain for the Indian market as well? We’ll have to wait till the Auto Expo to know for sure. In global markets, it competes with the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, Chevrolet Bolt and the Tesla Model 3.
Hyundai Kona
The Kona is not an imposing SUV by any means, but it is rather well-styled. Though it features Hyundai’s new 'Cascade' grille, it is the slim LED daytime running lights positioned above the main headlights that really give the car a distinctive face. There’s an interesting mix of light-catching lines at the sides while the wheel cladding that wraps around the rear end and houses the indicator and reversing lights lends the Kona a funky look; slim LED rear lights and a spoiler are some of the other elements of note on the SUV.
Hyundai has tried to lend a premium feel to the Kona's interiors, too. The dash, which uses contrast colours to good effect, also houses a floating infotainment screen with screen sizes varying between 5 and 8 inches. Heads-up display is an option too, making this a cabin that would appeal to tech-savvy buyers.
