With neat dimensions of just 3,565mm long and 1,595mm wide, the i10 promises to be easy to thread through city traffic and an equally easy to park in tight car parks.

With the wheels pushed far into each corner there is more space inside for people and luggage, plus it gives the i10 a slightly ‘big car’ feeling. Hyundai claims that the i10 is a full five-seater and has five door practicalities, as standard too.

Prices have not yet been announced for the new small car, but expect an impressive features list and a competitive price.

The i10 also has a proper tailgate rather than just a piece of glass, four opening windows with electric operation at the front, central locking, electric power steering, tinted glass, 14-inch wheels, body coloured bumpers and an integrated six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo.

To ensure high safety standards across the range, all i10s will have four airbags with a passenger side cut-off switch, allowing a child seat to be fitted in the front of the car if required.

All i10 models will be powered by a 67bhp, 1.1-litre petrol engine mated to either a manual or an optional automatic gearbox.

The gearshift is mounted on the centre console to improve ergonomics and free up the space between the driver and the passenger seat.

Manual versions will be capable of an official average fuel consumption of more than 60mpg and produce just 119g/km of CO2.
