Hyundai is claiming best-in-class rear legroom and boot space from the new i10

Hyundai has revealed the first official pictures of the new i10. The Korean firm's new supermini is 80mm longer, 65mm wider and 50mm lower than its forebear, with a 5mm longer wheelbase and a 10% larger boot at 252 litres; the firm is claiming best-in-class rear legroom and boot space.

Prices, engines and trims have yet to be announced but the line-up is expected to include a series of low capacity petrol engines, including 1.0-litre three-cylinder and 1.25-litre four-cylinder units. It is expected to go on sale at the end of 2013 following its official unveiling at the Frankfurt motor show in September.

The company claims that the levels of equipment available with the new model are typically those associated with larger cars, as features such as automatic climate control, a heated leather steering wheel and cruise control will be on offer.
