Hyundai plans to bring the i10 to the United States

A few years ago, this would have sounded like a typical April Fools’ Day story, but we have now grown used to reading things like this, so nothing is impossible. Due to the growing demand for small, affordable cars in the American market, the Korean manufacturer is considering expanding its range there with the i10.

It may still seem like an exaggeration given the class of car this Hyundai belongs to, but we should also consider examples such as the smart and MINI, both of which can no longer meet the huge demand that has flourished in the United States.

That said, the i10 would not arrive in the United States exactly as we know it, and it would need some adjustments. To begin with, in terms of safety, since American regulations would require the model to be improved a little further in this area with new bumpers or suspension. The engines would also need some extra power to increase their performance, because the current ones would fall short of standing out against the competition.

It is not official yet, but as we have already mentioned, nothing should be taken for granted these days, and who knows whether it could become a viable option for North American consumers.
