HYUNDAI Motor unveiled last Aug.16 its first hints about the New Generation i30, which will celebrate its world premiere on Sept. 7 before making its debut at Paris Motor Show next month. Peter Schreyer, President and Chief Design Officer of Hyundai Motor Group, said: "It's a car for everybody - for the design of the New Generation Hyundai i30, we didn't just look at one customer, we focused on a wide range of different people. The design is an evolution of Hyundai Motor's design language with natural flowing lines, refined surfaces and a sculpted body to create a timeless appearance. With the New Generation i30, we are introducing our further developed grille: the Cascading grille." Designed, developed, and tested in Europe, the New Generation i30 is Hyundai Motor's car in the heart of the Hyundai range representing the core of the brand. While people's behaviors and interests increasingly change towards technology driven solutions, individuality and flexibility, Hyundai Motor moves on, redefines its offer and takes the next step with its customers. The New Generation i30 offers highest value, an efficient and dynamic powertrain line-up, state-of-the-art safety and connectivity to meet European and global customers' needs. Mike Song, Head of Africa and Middle East Operations for Hyundai, said: "This evolution of the Hyundai i30 establishes new benchmarks for design and technology in a highly competitive market segment, and is the next step forward in what we believe the Hyundai name should represent."
