The Hyundai vehicle weighs only 950kg (remember, this is Europe) and gets 3.3-liters of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers/60 mph. Best of all, an on-board dash computer starts your day off with an adorable smiley face! Enjoy the hi-res photos below and let us know what you think.

The Hyundai ix35 concept was caught sans-cover in Frankfurt, along with new ix-Metro drawings leaked to the web. Let’s start with the ix35 – on its way to 2009’s Frankfurt Motor Show, World Car Fans and S.B. Medien (who has copyright on these photos) snagged a glimpse of the 2010 – 2011 Hyundai ix35 / Tucson SUV. Looks like there’s a new grill, new headlights, new fog lights, and lower to the ground appearance. The back-end is rounder, has a spoiler, steeper angled glass, new rear lighting that spreads from the side paneling to the hatch.

Next we have the ix-Metro and i10 concepts – the first city cars available from Hyundai. Smaller then the Accent, the ix-series in general is the way Hyundai will bring small, economy class commuting to their world. ix-Metro features a Hybrid Electric Drive, also known as a HED. Its turbocharged petrol engine displaces 1.0-liter, it is run by a 6-speed dual clutch transmission and returns C02 emissions of 80g/km.
