While the sketch of the i40 Sedan from Hyundai was released just a couple of days ago, the official release of the model just came at the Motor Show from Barcelona. The Hyundai i40 Sedan uses the Fluidic Design that the Korean company uses on its latest models, though they took it a step further. Some might say that the Hyndai i40 Sedan looks a bit like the Ford Mondeo, which is its rival, but it still looks pretty good.

The engine of the i40 Sedan is a 2L Theta II model with 175HP on it (130 kW) and 213Nm. The second engine on the car will be a 1.7L diesel which will come in two variants. One of them has 113HP and 255 Nm and the other has 133HP.

One of the features which come with the i40 Sedan is the warning system which lets you know when you leave your lane. Another one is the connection for Bluetooth phones, a camera in the rear which somes with assistance for smart parking, plus front seats which are air ventilated. [Source: RPMGO]
