The new and refreshed hyundai i20

Hyundai Motor is continuing its success in the compact hatchback segment by introducing a refreshed i20 lineup. In order to meet customers' expectations, the i20 five-door now has a more modern design as well as updated safety features with Hyundai SmartSense. For both the five-door and the three-door coupe, Hyundai is also introducing a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (7DCT) for optimal driving comfort and an Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system, which will reduce CO₂ emissions.

The styling of the i20 has been refreshed in several ways. The elegant lines of the new i20 emphasise its sophisticated exterior. The front of the i20 five-door now features the Cascading Grille, the family identity uniting all Hyundai models. In addition to its modern and fresh design, the i20 also boasts a spacious and comfortable interior.

More interestingly, the new i20 offers a choice of two petrol powertrains. The Kappa 1.0-litre T-GDI engine comes with a choice of two power outputs: The engine that is capable of 100bhp is available with a five-speed manual transmission, while the high-power version of 120bhp comes with a six-speed manual transmission.

As an alternative, the 100bhp engine can also be matched with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission - a Hyundai first in the i20 range. Offered for the i20 five-door and three-door coupe, the Kappa 1.2-litre engine is available with two different outputs, both mated to a five-speed manual transmission: 75bhp or 84bhp.

To comply with the highest European standards, the i20 now also includes the latest Hyundai SmartSense active safety and drivers assistance systems. These include Lane Departure Warning System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Autonomous Emergency Braking city and interurban, Driver Attention Alert and High Beam Assist.
