The higher variants also get equipment such as reverse parking camera and sensors, automatic climate control, LED daytime running lamps and new-design 14-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
The biggest change to the line-up is the introduction of a new diesel engine. The old 71hp 1.1-litre diesel makes way for a new 1.2-litre powerplant that develops a meatier 75hp and 190Nm of torque. The 83hp 1.2-litre Kappa petrol motor is carried forward but is now tuned for better efficiency. A five-speed manual gearbox is offered as standard, with the petrol getting the option of an automatic gearbox. Hyundai claims a fuel economy of 19.77kpl for the petrol manual and 17.49kpl for the petrol automatic while the diesel gets a rating of 24.95kpl.
