The Indian automotive landscape just got a bit more exciting with the launch of the Hyundai i20 facelift. Carrying on its legacy of blending style and substance, Hyundai’s updated offering comes with a starting price of Rs. 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This hatchback sensation is available in five variants and boasts a palette of eight striking colors. Let’s dive into what makes the refreshed i20 a head-turner on Indian roads.
Variants Galore
The new Hyundai i20 offers you the freedom to choose from five distinct trims – Era, Magna, Sportz, Asta, and Asta (O). The diverse lineup caters to a wide range of preferences, ensuring that there’s an i20 for every taste.
A Rainbow of Colors
The i20 facelift introduces an impressive array of eight exterior paint schemes, including the chic Amazon Grey (a new addition), Atlas White, Titan Grey, Typhoon Silver, Starry Night, Fiery Red, Atlas White with a black roof, and Fiery Red with a black roof. With this spectrum of choices, you can pick a shade that perfectly complements your personality.
Exterior Elegance
The i20’s facelift doesn’t just stop at new colors. The hatchback showcases its aesthetic prowess with revamped front and rear bumpers, contemporary LED headlamps featuring arrow-shaped LED DRLs, a refreshed front grille, a redesigned rear profile, and a set of eye-catching 16-inch alloy wheels. This visual transformation elevates the i20’s presence on the road.
Tech-Savvy Interior
Step inside the i20 facelift, and you’ll be greeted by a cabin that combines technology with comfort seamlessly. It retains the beloved features of its predecessor, including a generous touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay connectivity, a high-quality seven-speaker Bose music system, ambient lighting, a convenient wireless charger, automatic climate control, and cruise control. This blend of convenience and entertainment ensures that every drive in the i20 is an enjoyable experience.
Safety Comes First
Hyundai takes safety seriously, and the i20 facelift is no exception. It offers a comprehensive safety package, including six airbags, ABS with EBD (Anti-lock Braking System with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), ESC (Electronic Stability Control), HSC (Hill Start Assist Control), VSM (Vehicle Stability Management), a rear parking camera with sensors, and TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System). With these features, you can confidently hit the road knowing that you’re protected at every turn.
Under the Hood
The i20 facelift houses a 1.2-liter Kappa petrol engine under its hood. This BS6-compliant powerplant generates a peppy 82 bhp (brake horsepower) and 115 Nm of peak torque. It’s available with both a 5-speed manual transmission and an iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission) unit. Please note that the 1.0-liter turbo petrol motor has been retired from the i20 lineup with this update.
The Hyundai i20 facelift has arrived with a fresh look, a vibrant color palette, and the
same commitment to safety and technology that drivers have come to expect from this beloved hatchback. Whether you’re commuting in the city or embarking on a weekend adventure, the i20 is ready to take you there in style and comfort.
