Instagram user jung_sola has shared new spy shots of
the Hyundai Styx from South Korea. The Hyundai QXi will flaunt the company's signature
cascading grille and the 'Composite Light' multi-tier front light arrangement.
The lighting setup will comprise LED DRLs at the hood-level and projector
headlamps at a lower position. Its profile will be highly reminiscent of the
Creta, with a similar DLO. The latest spy images give us a clear look at the
new model's dual-tone machined alloy wheels, brushed aluminium roof rails,
dual-tone paint scheme with a black-painted roof, and the shark-fin antenna.
The new spy images show even the glow pattern of the
LED tail lights. The rear-end is likely to also sport a roof spoiler and a
chunky bumper. On the inside, the
Hyundai QXi is expected to offer various class-leading features, including
first-in-segment ventilated front seats. The new model is said to feature even an electric sunroof. That said,
both these features will likely be restricted to the top-spec trim.
The Hyundai QXi will be available with three engine
options - 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged petrol, 1.4-litre,
four-cylinder petrol and 1.4-litre diesel. The turbo-petrol motor produces a
maximum power of 100 hp and a peak torque of 172 Nm and will be mated to a
7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. All engine variants are expected to
be offered with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard.
The Hyundai Styx will be the second sub-4 metre SUV
after the Mahindra XUV300 to offer disc brakes on all wheels. All trims of the
new model will feature dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, front seatbelt
reminder (SBR), reverse parking sensors, ISOFIX child seat mounts and
high-speed warning buzzer. The top-spec trim is expected to even offer Vehicle
Stability Control, Hill Start Assist, side airbags, and reverse parking camera
with dynamic guide lines.
