Hyundai unveils next-gen engine at Frankfurt show
https://www.auto123.com/en/news/hyundai-smart-stream-engines-frankfurt-2017/63977/
Looks like alongside the Kona Hyundai also introduced a modified version of the 1.6T Gamma engine, and a new 8 speed wet-clutch DCT. I figure this can't be an accident that this engine and transmission (branded SmartStream) got introduced alongside 2 i30 variants and the Kona: I figure the drivetrains are meant to go into the models. Anyone have any further info? It'd be great if we got an enhanced 1.6T and 8 speed DCT when we get the Kona next year.
