Next generation Hyundai i10 diesel spied testing

The next generation Hyundai i10 that is expected to debut the first small diesel mill for the Korean manufacturer has been spied testing near the facility in Chennai by the crew at Team-bhp. This is one of the many numerous sightings of the car (a.k.a the Brilliance) over the last few months; however, the person who took the photograph indicated that black smoke was coming out of the tail pipe of the car, an indication that this is the diesel variant.

These sets of spy shots have also revealed the window line of the car and it certainly indicates that the car is a much bigger and sportier vehicle. We have also got a small view of the interiors but not many details are visible expect for the fact that Hyundai has now dropped the integrated headrests for the front seats.

While the petrol and LPG mills are expected to remain the same, Hyundai will launch this car with a diesel mill that is expected to be a three-cylinder 1.2-litre oil burner. The company is expected to manufacture the mills at its upcoming flexible engine plant near Chennai.  With tensions between both Korean nations escalating, it is likely that Hyundai may speed up work on the plant.  

The new car might be called the i10 in the global market, but here in India this hatchback is expected to be positioned between the current generation i10 and the i20. This means that the car will launched in India with a completely new name.
