Hyundai announces new i20 prices and specifications

Hyundai Motor has revealed the new i20, which will hit roads with a refreshed, stylish design. The car’s safety and best-in-class connectivity features ensure it is one of the most comprehensive packages in its class.

The new i20 features a refreshed design including a new shape and pattern of the front bumper and radiator grille, which have been enhanced to create an elegant look with sporty elements. The rear features a redesigned bumper and a unique taillight design alongside newly designed 16 and 17 inch wheels have been added. A dynamic light signature that emphasises its overall bold look, is provided by the standard LED front lights, with Z-shaped LED rear lamps. Even with compact B‑segment dimensions, the new i20 offers customers plenty of interior room, as well as 352 litres of boot space with the rear seats up, and 1,165 litres with the rear seats folded down.

As well as refreshed design, new i20 is available with a wider colour pallet, with nine exterior colours and an optional black two-tone roof. Three exterior colours are brand-new: Lucid Lime Metallic, Lumen Grey Pearl, and Meta Blue Pearl. Returning colours include Atlas White, Phantom Black Pearl, Aurora Grey Pearl, Dragon Red Pearl, Vibrant Blue Pearl, and Mangrove Green Pearl. Alongside new exterior colour options, a new Lucid Lime interior colour package is also available with the seats finished in a new pattern with a bold vertical line, embossed horizontal dotted lines and lime-coloured stitching.

New i20 comes equipped as standard with the latest connectivity features that make the in-car experience even more convenient for occupants with USB type-C and Over-the-Air (OTA) map updates are introduced alongside popular features from the previous model, such as the 10.25” touchscreen navigation (from Premium Trim and above), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charger, and the latest update to Bluelink^® telematics.

More Hyundai Smart Sense safety features come as standard. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) for ‘City’, ‘Interurban’, ‘Pedestrian’ and ‘Cyclist’. FCA helps detect and avoid potential accidents with obstacles ahead. Lane Following Assist (LFA) ensures that the vehicle stays in the current lane of travel.

For additional peace of mind, optional safety systems are also available. Rear Cross-traffic Collision Assist (RCCA) applies the brakes while backing out of a parking space if a risk of collision with vehicles to the rear and side is detected. Blind-spot Collision-avoidance Assist (BCA) uses visual alerts that appear on the exterior mirrors if another vehicle is detected. When necessary, BCA activates to avoid a collision or reduce the impact of a collision. Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC) uses the vehicle’s navigation system to anticipate curves or straights on motorways and adjusts the speed for safer driving.

New i20 also offers a more simplified powertrain line up, with all models available with the turbocharged, 3 cylinder, 100PS engine and a choice of 6 speed manual or 7 speed dual clutch transmission.

In a range realignment the new i20’s range now starts with the Advance at £20,770 for the Advance 1.0 T-GDi 100PS 6MT.
