最近谍照记者在欧洲道路上拍到了正在进行测试的2015款现代i40改款车的原型车。这款现代大型家用车将进行轻度改款，包括重新设计的蜂巢格栅，中级是保险杠，上下一共五条水平横杠，与现行版差不多，但底部的线条更平直以提供更锐利的外观。另外值得注意的是更具棱角的保险杠以及两侧缺席的雾灯，这表明雾灯或许与前大灯集成在一起，这或许也是新车改款的一部分，虽然这辆原型车采用的是标准照明系统。这辆i40改款车除了车头以外并未进行任何伪装，这只能证明两件事：或许这只是早期原型车，或者现代只是对前脸部分进行改款。该车的车尾能看到“CRDi”标志，这表明该车搭载了一台1.7升四缸柴油引擎，功率84千瓦/115马力或100千瓦/136马力，只有欧版车型提供这台引擎。预计现代将在年底前发布这款车，随后将于明年初上市。

 

Hyundai i40 facelift spied in Europe hiding minor cosmetic updates

A prototype of the 2015 Hyundai i40 facelift has been spied undergoing testing on European roads.

 

Hyundai's large family-oriented model is about to receive a minor nip and tuck that will include a redesigned hexagonal grille featuring five horizontal bars, similar to what the current model has but with more flatter lines in the low area to provide a sharper apperance. We also notice a more angular bumper and the absence of fog lights on the bumper's sides which means these might have been integrated in the headlamps that could also be revised despite the prototype showing the standard lights.

 

The i40 wagon spotted here doesn't have any other camouflage which can only indicate two things: it's either an early prototype or Hyundai will only tweak the front fascia. The vehicle was carrying the "CRDi" badge at the back which means it had a 4-cylider, 1.7-liter diesel with 115 PS (84 kW) or 136 PS (100 kW), the only engine offered in Europe.

 

An official reveal could occur before the end of the year, with sales to begin early 2015.
