The B-segment crossover market is underway – we already have the Peugeot 2008, Nissan Juke, Renault Captur, Opel/Vauxhall Mokka, Ford EcoSport, Chevrolet Trax, Jeep Renegade and Honda HR-V/Vezel.
Moreover, the ongoing Auto China 2014 in Beijing has seen the debut of the Citroen C-XR concept, which will very probably one day become a B-SUV China can buy.
Along the same vein is the Hyundai ix25 concept, which has also turned up at the show. Length, width, height and wheelbase are respectively 4,270, 1,780, 1,630 and 2,590 mm – putting it comfortably in the B-SUV ballpark.
The ‘Fluidic Sculpture 2.0‘-inspired vehicle is motivated by a 2.0 litre Nu engine. Hyundai expects to launch the production ix25 in China in the second half of this year. We do hope most of the concept’s looks are retained.
The road-going Hyundai ix25, which our Euro spies have spotted undergoing testing, is based on the next-gen i20 hatch, and will be built through a joint venture with BAIC.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The profile remind me the Kia Soul.
Is this a sibling car with Soul?
….smaller version of Santa Fe..nice design
The design is too close to the Soul. Peter Streyer is getting to be a confused guy.
Price it well. RM90k with full specs. And I will buy.
Nice……
In Oz, 1 year old ix35 can’t even fetch AUD10k
