THE first clues to the design of the next Hyundai i30 mid-sized model have been revealed by the Korean car maker prior to the car's debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

New-look bumpers and LED headlights are the most striking differences on the latest i30 which is due for release later in the year.

Hyundai has put out a teaser image of a sporty N Line version of the new i30 which also reveal a new grille with a mesh design and overall the car has a wider look.

The company says other changes include a new rear bumper, rear lights and alloy wheel designs in 16-inch, 17-inch and 18-inch styles.

The interior design has also been enhanced, with a new digital instrument cluster and a larger 10.25-inch display among other upgrades.

With the new i30 Hyundai will launch an N Line version of its i30 estate, meaning the company's sporty trim level will be available on all i30 body types for the first time.
