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.
