Paris Preshow: 2011 Hyundai i10 Receives Makeover

Three years after its introduction, Hyundai has given its i10 a mid-cycle facelift, providing the city car with a new front snout that takes styling cues from the ix35 SUV (marketed as the Tucson in the States). Along with the hexagonal grille, the 2011MY i10 gets a reshaped bumper and new headlamps as well as a new set of exterior mirrors that now incorporate turning signals.

For the time being, we only have a single photo of the car's exterior, but it is said that the i10's interior has also received some minor tweaks.

More significant than the styling updates, however, are the changes underneath the hood as the i10 receives a new 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine with 68-horsepower and less than 100g/km CO2 emissions.

The i10 will make its world premiere along with the new ix20 MPV at this month's Paris Auto Show.

The Use of Small Cars and Green Car to Reduce CO2 Levels
Carscoop.com presented data showing, in five major European markets, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and England, the average CO2 emissions from new cars of all categories (including SUVs) in circulation, indicate the number 3.26 tons / year since early 2008. This means experienced a reduction of 0.11 tons / year since 2007.

This shows, the use of small cars and green cars in Europe have a very positive impact in reducing CO2 levels.

In Japan, the average CO2 emissions for new cars down from 3.16 tons / year in 2007 to 3.10 tons / year during 2008. But in the U.S., the new car average of 5.77 tons CO2/tahun issue.

This fact was surprising considering the U.S. is known for the most vocal in promoting the use of environmentally friendly emissions.
