2017 Hyundai SUV (spyshot)
Hyundai’s new baby SUV was spotted running around on
German in prototype form. The new sub-compact SUV is planned to
make its debut in 2017, aiming straight at the likes of the Nissan Juke,
Renault Captur and Opel Mokka X/Chevrolet Trax.
The Korean model will draw inspiration from the
funky 2014 Intrado concept, retaining though a relationship with the brand’s
latest models, including the i30 and the Tucson.
The heavily camouflaged prototype
you see here looks like it’s going to adopt a face of its own, with the
headlights positioned low, right next to the firm’s hexagonal grille - somewhat
reminiscent of the Jeep Cherokee and Citroen C4 Picasso. The rear end on the
other hand appears to be much simpler, opting for a set of taillights similar
to those of the Tucson.
The new crossover will be considered part
of the i20’s range, using a mix of i20 and the new i30 parts in its
construction. This means that the engine range will include the latest generation
of turbocharged three- and four-cylinder petrol units seen on the
aforementioned models, including the 1.0-litre and 1.4-litre ones, as well as
all the necessary connectivity features to satisfy customer’s demands.
There is a slim chance that Hyundai will also make
some versions available with AWD but even without this option, the new Korean
crossover should have its opponents worried, starting from now.
