Hyundai has unveiled the first images of the new generation i20, ahead of its world debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

The popularity of the original i20 has made it one of the company's best-selling cars in Europe.

The key aims of the new model are to open Hyundai to an even wider audience; further develop perceptions of the brand; and confirm Hyundai's position as a truly European manufacturer.

Based on a new platform, new generation i20 features a 2570 mm wheelbase - 45 mm longer than its predecessor - providing European customers with one of the most spacious cabins in the segment.

Combined front and rear legroom is best in class at 1892 mm. Boot capacity is 326 litres when the rear seats are upright.

Enhancing the comfort and the sense of space for driver and passengers is a panoramic sunroof. Able to both tilt and fully open, it fills the cabin with natural light and fresh air.

Further features include integrated rear-view camera and front and rear LED lighting.
