Hyundai’s Juke-rival B-Segment SUV was caught testing in Europe few months ago. Based on the next-gen Hyundai i20 B-segment car, the SUV version was launched at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show in April 20 but at least in a “Concept Car” form, and today we want to show you new pictures of the exterior and interior, plus the confirmation of a 2.0 engine and all-wheel drive.

[ads id=”0″ style=”float:left;padding:5px;”]The ix25 (our Hyundai sources told that this car won’t be available in Europe) is inspired on Hyundai’s Curb Concept showed at the 2011 NAIAS, and probably will be available with AWD. This mini SUV will be positioned under the Tucson/ix35 C-Segment SUV. The ix25 is expected to have a wheelbase of around 2,570 mm, two petrol engines (Gamma MPi engines 1.4 and 1.6 with 90 and 126 hp, a 2.0 MPi will be top-spec variant) and two diesel CRDi engines 1.4 and 1.6 with 90 and 110 hp.

Kia will have his own version of this SUV with a different design. Kia variant is expected to debut in 2015. Looking inside, we can see a Hyundai’s latest models inspired design, with big center console including Audio System with standart USB/iPod connection, single automatic air conditioning controls, steering wheel mounted audio controls and Bluetooth hands free.
