Despite missing out on the 1st of March new car registration rush, Hyundai have assured its dealer network of abundant supplies of its all new Hyundai i10 supermini.
However, despite the reassurance it would appear a 'misbuild' at the factory has lead to rear wash/wipes being left off the entry level Classic models bound for the UK. These are ultimately the bread and butter models in the range and therefor will not be available in time for the 2nd April launch.
Despite the hitch, the new Hyundai i10 has received positive news on its future values from CAP the leading provider of residual values in the UK.
CAP Monitor New Car data for March 2008 predicts future values based on 3 years, 60,000 miles for the new i10 at 39% across the entire range matching that of the Polo Fox, but leaving rivals like the Toyota Aygo, Chevrolet Matiz and Citroen C1 in the dust.
Of course this is all speculative but shows that the Korean car maker is taken seriously these days when launching new products into the market.
Priced from £6,495 for the entry level model, the Hyundai i10 offers air conditioning across the range and with four airbags, fully integrated audio, six speakers, central locking and front electric windows also as standard, i10 promises to communicate a highly affordable high specification product with a strong unique selling point.
