New Hyundai i20 Launched



The new Hyundai i20, now christened as the 'i-Gen i20', has been launched at a wallet-friendly price tag of Rs 4.73 Lakh for the entry-level 1.2 litre Petrol version. While the top-end Petrol Automatic goes all the way up to Rs 7.67 Lakh. The Diesel powered range starts at Rs 5.96 Lakh, all prices ex showroom, Delhi.   

The car now sports a new look that is more in line with Hyundai's latest fluidic design language. The i20 now gets an all new face; the grille is now hexagonal-shaped and the headlights are slimmer too. Other big changes include - a redesigned front bumper with nice set of fog-lamps, new hood and alloy-wheel design. At the back, the update includes new tail lamps and rear bumper. On the inside, the dashboard features new audio unit and redesigned switchgear
For our market, the i-Gen i20 gets a 1.2-litre Kappa petrol motor (now with dual VTVT tech) that puts out 83bhp, around 4bhp more over the previous version. The 1.4-litre diesel on the other hand version is the same old unit with no new changes. It is a powerful unit though; with 90bhp and a healthy 220nm of torque to play with. There's even a bigger and more powerful petrol engine on offer- the 1.4-litre, 98bhp version that comes with an Automatic gearbox as standard. 

The feature list is mighty impressive for a car of this size, to say the least. This new i20 comes with Rear parking Camera with display screen, Smart Key with Push Button Start, Automatic headlamps and rain-sensing wipers, 6 (yes, six!) airbags, ABS, Leather wrapped steering wheel, a Driver seat arm rest, Electrically adjustable folding rear view mirrors, new Audio unit with Bluetooth connectivity and USB, Rear parking sensor, audio and Bluetooth controls on steering wheel... and the list goes on.

The new 'i-Gen i20' is available in up to 12 trim levels, 3 engine options and comes with a choice of either manual or automatic gearbox. Petrol engined i20s start from Rs 4.73 lakh to Rs 6.65 lakh. While the 1.4 automatic costs Rs 7.67 Lakh. The diesel range comes with prices starting from Rs 5.96 to Rs 7.44 Lakh, all prices ex-showroom, Delhi.
