2006 Paris Show : Hyundai to present its 2007 VW Golf contender in the form of the FD Concept
Following the steps of its subsidiary KIA, who previewed a few months ago the Cee'd Concept, Hyundai Europe is going to present a near to production version concept car at this years Paris International Motor Show.
Dubbed FD, Hyundai's concept is based on the all-new, European developed, designed and manufactured, Kia Cee'd. It's goal is to give us a preview of Hyundai's upcoming C-Segment competitor which will go on sale in Europe next summer (2007).
Like its Kia counterpart the Ceed, the FD is considered a Top Priority in Hyundai Group's European strategy as both models will compete in Europe's best selling category, the C-Segment. Of course that's better said than done, as the Korean's will have to go against European heavyweights like the Volkswagen Golf, Opel Astra, and Renault Megane.
Finally, it should be noted that when the FD goes in production next year, most likely it'll be available not only as a 5door hatch but like the Kia Cee'd in other versions also. (Click here for the story: Kia Cee'd: 3door - Station Wagon - GTi - Coupe-Cabrio)
