The new i20 is designed under Hyundai's Sensuous Sportiness philosophy

Design

The Hyundai i20, comes with a new design which stands out. The Korean carmaker says that the new i20 has been designed keeping four elements in mind which are proportion, architecture, design, technology. Up front you get the gloss black honeycomb grille and the sweptback headlights. There are the LED DRLs as well, but they're not as eye catching as the rest of the car. Then there are the fog lamps and a little bit of muscle on the bonnet. The rear gets some big changes especially to the C-Pillar which earlier had a blacked out element. Now it has been moved back to up its drag co-efficient quotient and interestingly it looks good too.

The Z-shaped LED taillights are distinctive and makes the rear stand out brilliantly against the clutter of hatchbacks on sale

The Z-shaped LED tail lights also stand out and yes, you'll be able to recognise this car from a mile. The black element on the tail gate is a design that's very similar to that of the Altroz and the massive rear windshield adds to the look. There is a chrome element at the rear too for those who like it on the car. The i20 comes with 16-inch alloy wheels as well which look good on the car.

The length of the car has grown by 10 mm and now stands at 3995mm, it's wider too by 41 mm, but the height remains unchanged. The wheelbase too has gone up by 10mm which translates into more space at the rear. In fact, Hyundai says that the rear leg room has gone up by 88 mm which is a big improvement over the previous car.

Engine Options

There are three engine options on the table - a 1.2-litre, naturally-aspirated petrol, a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel. While a manual gearbox will be available with both the 1.2 petrol and 1.5 diesel, the 1.0 turbo will only get an intelligent manual transmission option. Both petrol engines will be available with an automatic gearbox as well, the 1.2 petrol will have a CVT (IVT in Hyundai-speak), while the 1.0 turbo will have a 7-speed DCT. The 1.2-litre petrol belts out 87 bhp and 115 Nm on the IVT version, while the manual produces 82 bhp and 115 Nm. The 1.5-litre diesel pushes out 99 bhp and 240 Nm. But the most powerful is the 1-litre turbo petrol which punches out 118 bhp and 172 Nm of peak torque.

Fuel Efficiency

Hyundai claims an ARAI certified fuel efficiency figure of 20.25 kmpl on the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. Meanwhile, the 1.2-litre Kappa manual returns 20.35 kmpl, while the IVT version returns 19.65 kmpl. Lastly, the 1.5-litre diesel returns 25.2 kmpl on the new i20.

Cabin

The cabin receives a massive update. The dual-tone treatment, the leatherette upholstery, the contrast stitching, all show how premium the i20 has become. There is a new digital instrument cluster as well and the cool animation, and a TFT screen with plenty of information - including tyre pressure monitoring. Taking centre stage on the dashboard is that 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
