At this year's Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris on 20th September 2010, Hyundai will celebrate the world premiere of its new B-segment MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle). To be presented as the Hyundai ix20, a sketch revealed today shows the new model as a striking departure from the boxy 'minivan' image typically associated with the segment, adopting a more dynamic, sportier profile in line with Hyundai's reputation as a modern, progressive automaker.

Designed and developed at Hyundai's European R&D centre in Russelsheim, Germany, the Hyundai ix20 is the second European car, following the Hyundai ix35, to adopt Hyundai's new 'fluidic sculpture' design language. The name ix20 reflects the new model's crossover-like versatility - a vehicle with the ability to simultaneously serve as a functional people-carrier while providing a dynamic, fun-to-drive experience.

Another model making its world premiere at Paris is the new Hyundai i10. This upgraded version of Hyundai's popular city car benefits from a comprehensive set of enhancements in terms of design, specification and competiveness - including a new 1.0-litre engine with CO2 emissions of just 99 g/km.

The international motor show will also afford Hyundai the opportunity to showcase the latest developments of its Blue Drive eco-focused program. The company is targeting global leadership in environmental technologies, and the new models look set to contribute further to reductions in emissions from new Hyundai vehicles sold in Europe.

Hyundai has extended its display area at this year's show by 66%, in order to showcase the company's broad product line-up and new technologies.
