Hyundai has confirmed New Hyundai I 40 coming to UK in 2011 and date of its launch will be fixed September 2011 with the new I40, which is expected to be a much more competitive proposition for fleets, with improved quality, better on-road behavior and low-CO2 diesel versions.
The new i40 will be launched in estate form, with a saloon version following later in 2011.

According to “Allan Rushforth, Vice President of Hyundai Motor Europe, said of the new car: "We have bold ambitions for Hyundai in Europe, and the new i40 will provide the momentum we need to achieve our goals in 2011 and beyond.
