Hyundai unveils hint at future MPV

Hyundai’s i-mode concept is a future hint at a possible six-seater MPV which is planned for production.

The MPV concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show features Hyundai’s swivel seat system which allows the first row passenger seat rotates to face second and third row occupants.

The i-mode is powered by a new 2.2-litre R diesel engine has a power output of 213bhp and is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox.

Mass production of the R Engine is scheduled to begin with the standard (single turbocharged) version in 2009 with the dual-stage turbocharged edition arriving in the first half of 2011.
