Hyundai is aware not everyone wants crossovers and SUVs, which is why it remains committed to selling good ol' cars. Speaking with Autocar at the launch of the new Kona, the automaker's European chief Michael Cole confirmed plans for next-gen i10, i20, and i30 models. While some of the other mainstream automakers are gradually abandoning subcompact and compact cars, the South Korean brand wants to cater to those interested in small hatchbacks:
"We're strategizing now about what comes beneath [the] Kona long-term. For now, [the] i10, i20, and i30 are all still in our plan, even for the next generation. We don't want to lose any customers. I don't want to walk away from any customer group. So we have to think about those i10, i20, i30 customers."
