New-Generation Hyundai i20 Sketches Revealed

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has revealed the design renderings of the new-generation Hyundai i20, which will be launched in India next month. This will be the third-generation model of the i20, with the current generation model having debuted in 2014. The new i20 is designed around the company’s theme of sensuous sportiness. Needless to say, the new-gen i20 gets a complete overhaul including a new design. The look of the car is bolder now and the stance is sportier too, with a sloping hood upfront. The cascading grille and the headlight cluster are completely new and add to the bold look. The rear too sees a complete change of design, with new boot lid and sharp looking taillights which form a ‘Z’.

Hyundai says that the new i20 has been designed keeping four elements in mind which are proportion, architecture, design, technology. The cabin of the new i20 has been completely re-done. It is likely to be an all-black affair and get features like a digital instrument cluster, 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, flat-bottom steering with mounted controls, dual airbags, rear AC vents, charging sockets, Hyundai’s BlueLink connected car technology, and other more

The new i20 is expected to get three engine options which include the 1.2-liter petrol, the 1.5-liter diesel and the 1.0-liter turbocharged petrol engines, similar to the ones found on other Hyundai cars. Transmission options will include both manual and automatic gearboxes. The car has already started making its way to Hyundai dealerships across the country and as we said earlier, we expect the new-generation i20 to be launched in November 2020. It will continue to go up against rivals such as the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Tata Altroz, and the Volkswagen Polo.
