2011 Hyundai i40 sedan
Hyundai has finally unveiled the new i40 sedan at the Barcelona Motor Show. The i40 is 4-door variant of the i40 wagon, which the manufacturer has already unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show in March.
The i40 sedan boasts a purely European identity having been designed and engineered at the European R&D headquarters of Hyundai in Rüsselsheim, Germany. The car is the latest model to be unveiled under the company's new brand slogan – "New Thinking. New Possibilities."
The engine range features 2.0 liter direct injection petrol with 177PS (130 kW) and 213Nm (157 lb0ft) of torque. The 1.7 liter diesel comes in two variants - 115 PS (84 kW) and 255Nm (188 lb-ft) and a more powerful 136PS (100 kW) version. The diesel power unit features Blue Drive technology, so the fuel economy is just great – 4.3 liters per 100km and 113 g/km of CO2.
Hyundai i40 sedan can be specified with Bluetooth phone connection, lane-departure warning, smart-parking assistance and a rear-view camera. There are also heated rear seats, heated steering wheel and air-ventilated front seats.
