What's the news?

Hyundai's small MPV, the ix20, is getting a few minor tweaks and updates for 2015.

The new ix20 will have revised engines (the 1.4 90hp petrol and 125hp 1.6-litre petrol are more or less unchanged although Hyundai says they're more efficient than before, while the 1.4 and 1.6 diesels both now get more torque) and updated automatic transmission (now with six rather than four gears). The Hyundai ix20 also gets some altered styling, especially around the grille and lights where the ix20 gets the more pronounced family Hyundai face as seen on the updated i40 and i30.

Inside, there are new cabin colours and trim options, plus an optional new sound system that includes a 1GB music storage hard drive. Up top, you can specify a big glass roof and you can now have a heated steering wheel.
