Price

Style

Hyundai's sensuous sportiness' has been the design philosophy that has underpinned how several of its newer cars look from the outside. And while the new i20 is every bit sporty to look at, there is an inherent style that is amply evident at first and every subsequent glances. The new front grille - Hyundai describes it as Parametric Jewel pattern grille - looks absolute fresh and classy on the car and is flanked on either side by catchy LED head lamps on either side which come with the i20 branding. Sitting under these are the projector fog lamps in a D-shaped casing which adds to the visual and practical appeal.The rear is, perhaps, where the most noticeable design changes are at. This could be because of how radical the all-new Z-shaped tail light here appear - especially when lit, and a chrome belt line that connects the two units on either side. A reflector on top and two on either side at the bottom, just above the blackened plate compliment and complete the profile.

Interiors 

Extra time seems to have been spent on ensuring that the cabin layout of the new i20 isn't just functional and doesn't just prioritize features - which it does - but has a clear emphasis on spaciousness. The slight increase in width and wheelbase may be marginal but the increase in the space quotient on the inside - especially in the rear is absolutely evident. The leg room for back-seat passengers has gone up with decent levels of knee room, head room as well as under-thigh support. The windows are adequately sized while a one-touch electric sunroof makes its debut in the i20 as well. The new i20 gets an industry-first Oxyboost Air Purifier with air quality display, a large 10.25-inch HD touchscreen infotainment with navigation, Bose 7-speaker sound system, blue-coloured ambient light theme, wireless phone charging with cooling pad and a large digital cluster with TFT Multi-information display. Hyundai's BlueLink technology also makes its way into the i20 for the first time ever.

Available Colours

The new Hyundai i20 is available in eight-colours that include Polar White, Typhoon Silver, Titan Grey, Fiery Red, Starry Night, Metallic Copper, Polar White with Black Roof, and Fiery Red with Black Roof. The model is offered in four variants such as Magna, Sportz, Asta, and Asta (O). All in all, there are a lot of new things that are offered with the new i20 including an all-new design, a modern and up-to-date feature list. The new i20 looks a lot sharper and hunkered down as compared to the outgoing model and gets modern design elements that make it stand out.

Engine and Gearbox Options 

Hyundai i20 2020 will now get a 1.0-litre Turbo petrol and, frankly, that is hardly a surprise considering the popularity this engine has seen in other products offered by the company. This engine option will come mated to a DCT or iMT gearbox. Then there a 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine mated to either IVT or a five-speed manual transmission unit, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine with a six-speed manual gearbox. Hyundai i20’s 1.5-litre diesel engine is expected to churn 99 bhp and 240 Nm of peak torque.
