Bakuâ€“ APA-Economics. Hyundai plans to introduce i30 based mini MPV in late 2010 along with new Sonata/i40, new i20 mini MPV model and Veloster sports car scheduled for 2011, according to hyundai-blog.
The all-new 2011 Hyundai i20 mini MPV will be in a very close relationship with the upcoming Kia YN minivan that made its first public appearance at Geneva auto show earlier this year and received rave reviews from public and automotive media thanks to its really attractive exterior design.
Kia YN mini MPV has been penned by European team of designers under the Peter Schreyer guidance. Peter Schreyer is a famous car designer who worked for Audi for more than 25 years and designed the legendary Audi TT and many other attractive cars, including VW Golf GTI V.
2011 Hyundai i20 mini MPV
Responsible to give the new Hyundai i20 mini MPV a â€œsoulâ€ will be Hyundai designers working at Hyundais European design centre in Russelsheim (Germany). They will be responsible to give the vehicle a unique exterior and interior look to differentiate it from its Kia counterpart as well as make it look attractive when standing side by side with other rivals.
2010 Hyundai i30 MPV
In addition to the new i20 mini MPV, Hyundai has also announced it plans to launch another MPV model in Europe. The second MPV will be slightly larger than the i20 mini MPV and will be based on Hyundai i30. The i30 MPV will be 4.48m long, 1.80 wide and will measure 1.61m in height. It will compete head to head against established brands such as Renault Scenic, Opel Zafira, Ford C-Max and Toyota Verso. In the mean time, Hyundai will also unveil an i30 facelift.

2010 Hyundai Tucson / ix35
Hyundai will continue a series of debuts with new Tucson, known also as Hyundai ix35 in Europe. The model has been first introduced as an ix-onic crossover concept. We have already seen the body shell of the production ready 2010 Tucson and from the image it was evident that the new Tucson/ix35 will stay very close to the concept.
2011 Hyundai Sonata / i40
Hyundai also plans to roll out the long anticipated Sonata sedan and wagon in Europe sold under the i40 name. First to hit the market will be a wagon variant of i40, while approximately six month later the Korean carmaker will also introduce a sedan variant. The new i40 will replace the current generation Sonata sedan, which wasnt particularly successful in Europe.
The all-new Sonata will feature more modern design and will have a modern interior built from top quality materials. It will also be equipped with the latest powertrain technology including a brand-new six-speed automatic transmission and a range of new diesel and gasoline engines.
According to Hyundai, Sonata/i40 will be the first Hyundai vehicle to be equipped with an updated 2.4L Theta engine that will feature GDI (gasoline direct injection) technology, which will bring the power numbers from 174 hp to 200 horsepower! New Sonata will reach American shores in February 2010.
2011 Hyundai Veloster
Hyundai also plans to take the wraps off another new model. The company has revealed plans to introduce a Veloster two-door coupe to replace the Hyundai Coupe/Tiburon.
Veloster is expected to be a fun-to-drive vehicle with plenty of power coming from new 1.6L Turbo engine that packs an impressive 172 horsepower. In Europe, the model is expected to also receive a diesel power, while North Americans should also get a more powerful 2.0L Turbo engine powered Veloster.
