Hyundai expanded the Hyundai i30 range with the
addition of the Hyundai i30 Fastback. Now, with the idea of an even
smaller coupe-styled sedan, IAB’s artist Shoeb Kalania has digitally created a
‘Hyundai i20 Fastback’.
Smaller and sportier than the Hyundai Elantra, the
Hyundai i30 Fastback, launching in early 2018, aims to create a new niche
segment. Fastback body style, previously reserved to luxury cars, is trending
in the mass market segment. The Honda Accord, one of the top-selling mid-size
sedans in the U.S., has incorporated a fastback design. Budget brand Tata, to
the surprise of many, launched a fastback-like compact sedan (Tata Tigor) this
year.
For the third-gen Hyundai i20, Hyundai may consider
introducing the Fastback, either discontinuing the 3-door version or running it
alongside.
Currently Hyundai is working on a mid-cycle refresh
for the second generation Hyundai i20. The facelifted i20 is expected to go on
sale next year, with rumours pointing at an Auto Expo 2018 debut.
