South Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia aren’t leaving a lot of breathing space for Europe’s troubled mainstream car manufactures, as they are relentlessly assaulting every popular category with new models.
At the 2012 edition of the Paris Motor Show, the Korean partners each introduced a three-door version of their respective C-segment compact hatchbacks.
The two models are the Hyundai i30 3d (the five-door version of which is sold as the Elantra GT in North America) and the Kia Pro_Cee’d, both of which offer a more aggressive design than their five-door counterparts.
While each model has its own distinct exterior and interior styling, they are both based on the same platform and are offered with the same mix of 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter petrol and diesel engines in Europe.
What we would like to know is which one of these two C-segment hatches wins your stamp of approval in terms of looks. You can place your vote below and if you wish, explain your choice in the comments section that follows.
