South Korean automaker, Hyundai has recently launched the new generation i20 (Named as Elite i20) in the Indian car market. The public premiere of this car is scheduled at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Adding to it, the company will also unveil the three-door version of the new i20, aka know as i20 Coupe at the show. The company has released a sketch of the three-door i20 Coupe, which is schedule to go on sale in 2015.

The first generation i20 was introduced in a three-door version and the second-gen model will also get the rear doors. The styling difference between the previous model with five-door version was very minimal; however, the company seems to have decided to offer a true i20 Coupe this time. The sketch shows that the new model features a sleeker design compared to the five-door model launched in India.

According to Hyundai, “The new model promises to combine driving fun, a distinctive character and sporty refinement, with the enhanced practicality and quality already previewed in its five-door sibling”. The vehicle will feature the i20 Coupe moniker and it will look sharper. The coupe sports raked roofline and a sportier rear bumper, roof-mounted spoiler and a wraparound rear window.

The i20 Coupe, just like the five-door model, was manufactured and designed at the company’s European design centre in Russelsheim, Germany. The production of the Coupe will start in February 2015 and is likely to be launched in second quarter of next year.
