World Premiere in New Delhi
The PA‑coded i10 was unveiled to the public on 31 October 2007 at a launch event in New Delhi, marking Hyundai’s first major push into the Indian sub‑compact market. This early introduction helped set the stage for the model’s later global rollout.
Multiple Badges Around the World
While sold as the Hyundai i10 in most markets, the PA generation carried different brand names elsewhere – it was marketed as the Dodge i10 in Mexico and the Inokom i10 in Malaysia. These badge engineering moves expanded the car’s reach without altering its core design.
Successor to the Atos, Not Sold in Korea
The i10 PA succeeded the Hyundai Atos as the brand’s compact offering, yet intriguingly it was never sold in Hyundai’s home market of South Korea. Production was localized in India at Hyundai’s Chennai plant to serve the domestic market and export destinations.
