The Hyundai i10 has been given a little facelift – it now features the new hexa-trapezoidal grille that it has been putting on all its new cars in certain markets, as an alternate to the ‘angry crab grille’.
We only have the front three quarter view at the moment. The new grille also comes with new foglamps and new headlamps. The new front end has a lot more detail compared to the pre-facelift but one wonders if it will make the front end too fussy compared to the rest of the car. We’ll post the interior and rear photos as soon as they are released.
UPDATE: We now have interior and rear photos after the jump. They’ve not professionally shot though, looking more like camera phone photos snapped of a car in storage. The rear end looks like it has new tail lamps and a reworked rear bumper.

Proton Sawi is too old and outdated already.
i was thinking to buy 1.

savvy bonnet
Hyundai also tried the “penutup jampan” design (last seen on the fugly runner up holder; Savvy)
Somehow, the Korean jampan look better LOL….

The tail light of the car has been given a redesign. Other place remain the same.

what? no more rear wiper..
tail light looks neat though..
I love the interior. Simple.
ooh… it’s not cute now :(
yeah it’s kinda lost its cuteness because of the techno-ish design eh?
SD still offer the 1.1 engine now, high spec during raya promotion with 3k discount is selling at RM45k only, tt’s almost 7k diff fr its old price tt 1.2kappa high spec is now selling at, isn’t tt suck or wat? i hope they offer this facelifted along with prefacelifted at discounted price, then i’ll buy the prefacelifted one!
btw, the head lamp got the same design as elantra, does it has tt LED angry eyeliner as well? if u no wat i mean….
ya… they are trying to make it looks like Sonata and Elantra but unfortunately, the new design language doesn’t not make the i10 look as nice as they are hoping for.
hyundai now almost all range of model share same Family face like Mazda, bmw…this trend vr popular in this century…anyway hyundai design luckily nice looking….for i10 current face look cute…
a big face on a small car, sometimes the transition is not well executed…
nampak cam kereta potong pun ade….
prefer the cleaner look of the current i10. the original look is cuter as well. they should have left the fluidic sculpture thingy to the next generation i10, instead of the facelift model.
wow, there u r reading my mind again! how nice it is if the ix20 is the new i10 design….
LOL…mini Tucson??
Squint headlamps.
Front looks very2 nice compared to other super minis.. INTERIOR sooo dull boring looking. Rear is OK.
I would wait for this new facelift. HYundai ROCKS!
Like No Radio Unit :)
don’t like the bonnet design, really look like penutup jamban lo
That’s good…u can use the bonnet in case one day your ‘penutup jamban’ rosak looo. And i bet it’s one fine ‘penutup jamban’ you got there.
the new facelift doesn’t really impress me, it look just like a mini version of Hyundai Avante 2011
i just dont understand ppl with the ‘penutup jamban’ comments. Its clamshell design, u idiots. Land Rover has it, other manufacturers also have it. Emulating LR by having these clamshell designs. Idiots.
just smoothen up those surfaces
or may be not
from a FIAT fan i am surely becoming a hyundai fan now
spy pics of the new elantra, the i3x soft roader, then the new sonata
and then the spy pics of the verna and ultimately the car concept shown in russia
my goodness
hyundai u are making me fall in love with the styling
and after reading reviews about the sonata
it seems you have upped the ante in quality, which were not bad in the first place
besides I am never interested in billion dollar exotics.
its the mass production cars that attract me the most.
cuz this where all the engineering comes to play.
it is easy to make a science project with a zillion dollars for a few pieces
but something for mass production requires genius
kudos hyundai
Yeah man, I really dun get all these ‘Jamban’ comments… one of the most famous examples of clamshell bonnet is the new MINI. noone says dat bout them…
and Savvy too!
When will the facelift come to malaysia? Initially i am planning to change my myvi to i10 but i think i will wait for the i10.
Test drive the 1.25 Kappa at show room. it really feels like european supermini cause i go to the showroom with my Myvi and you can feel the DIFFERENCE!
Thanks HYundai.:)
June 2011. They’re already receiving bookings (going to do mine this week!). Ask your nearest Hyundai/Inokom dealership.
If this facelifted version comes with the VTVT as the one tested at Mumbai roads last month, it’ll be a killer compact car. Sadly if the dash and interior for the one sold here comes in this colour, it’ll not work well as the complaints I read in Indian automotive blogs [ English ones liao ], is the glare from these same – coloured dash.
By the way, what I read oso was : 3 pot turbo for the smaller 1 litre, and the current 1.2 lt Kappa engines comes with VTVT [ some sort of valve timing technology ].
which one is more powerful? the 3 pot turbo or the kappa 1.25?
Nice!
When this facelifted model will arrive our shore?? ><
Someone please tell me…i need your help… x(
i saw an ad at mudah today… title New Hyundai i10 FL -11… might be the one
Yes, heard from the sales person last Sunday, there will be a facelift with cvvt engine is coming this July if no mistaken.
There will be some changes on the meter and interior color too. New exterior design is cool, especially the front.
