Production of the Hyundai i10 ended in November 2025 at the Hyundai Motor Türkiye (HMTR) plant in Izmit, Turkey. Orders for the car are no longer being accepted, although sales will continue as long as dealers have stock.
According to the company, the discontinuation of the i10 is part of a strategy to electrify the model range. The freed-up capacity at the plant will be used for the production of new electric vehicles, which are scheduled to begin production in 2026. Meanwhile, other compact models with internal combustion engines, including the Hyundai i20, will remain in production for now.
Hyundai announced last year about preparing the Turkish plant for the production of electric vehicles. The new phase involves the parallel production of EV and internal combustion engine models.
Speaking about a possible successor to the i10, the company does not disclose specific plans. Hyundai only notes that the new Inster could serve as an electric alternative in the compact segment.
Interestingly, the related brand Kia, whose Picanto is technically close to the i10, previously hinted at the future appearance of an electric model, the EV1. It could fill the role of a city car in the brand’s lineup.
The Hyundai i10 was introduced to the market in 2008 and over three generations has established itself as a reliable and practical city car.
