The new Hyundai Elite i20 has been doing brisk business in India. The car was also introduced in the European market recently to take on the likes of the VW Polo, Ford Fiesta, Peugeot 208 and the Opel Corsa. Now, the Korean manufacturer plans to give the five-door hatchback a coupe treatment, upping the swank factor of the modest i20. While it’s aforementioned competitors are also offered in three-door, coupe guises, stylistic differentiation from the regular five-door derivatives are minimal. However, the Hyundai i20 Coupe is claimed to look substantially different from its humble five-door counterpart that we also get in India.
Teased by Hyundai last month in the form of a sketch, these new renderings from AutoBild.de further try to conjure up what the Hyundai i20 Coupe would look like.
To be built specifically for Europe, the i20 Coupe would present forward a more rakish roofline, a pronounced rear spoiler, a wrap-around rear window and premium illumination. The new i20 Coupe is to be positioned slightly below the Hyundai Veloster, the quirky coupe with asymmetrically positioned doors.
