The Hyundai i20 facelift has been launched in India, with prices starting from Rs 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The hatchback gets its first serious update after the current generation debuted in India in 2020e. The bookings are now open while the deliveries are expected to commence soon. The variant-wise prices are as follows:

Price Check

The starting price of the Hyundai i20 has gone down, thanks to the new base-spec Era variant. Since there’s no turbo-petrol option anymore, the top-end price has also come down. 

Tweaked Styling

While the visual changes are subtle, they are still easily recognizable. The cascading grille design and the LED headlamps have been tweaked, while the LED DRLs are still inverted. The fog lamps have been skipped, but the air dam design has been mildly updated. Wrapping up the front look is the redesigned bumpers which look like racing skirts. 

The i20 facelift looks slightly different from the side thanks to the new 16-inch alloy wheels. The rear profile has been updated with a redone bumper, but with the same Z-shaped LED tail lamps. 

Subtle Changes To The Interior

The interior looks identical to the pre-facelift model, save for the new dual-tone black and grey interior, which replaces the all-black theme. The leatherette seats have been swapped for semi-leatherette upholstery, but there are still hints of soft touch material on the door trims. 

Minor Feature Reshuffling

The i20 facelift just gains one feature - USB Type-C fast charging ports. It continues to offer an electric sunroof, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 7-speaker Bose sound system, a digitised driver’s display, wireless phone charger, and an air purifier. 

Safety Features Standardised

The i20 facelift has improved the safety game with six airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchorage, ESC, hill assist control, day-night IRVM, vehicle stability management, and three-point seatbelts for all passengers as standard. Higher variants get a rear parking camera, tyre pressure monitoring system, and automatic headlamps.  

Updated Powertrain

The biggest change here is actually a downgrade for the premium hatchabck as the regular i20 loses the 1-litre turbo-petrol engine option. Powering the hatchback is now the 1.2-litre petrol engine only, which is rated at 83PS and 115Nm. Transmission options include 5-speed manual and CVT automatic, the latter upping the power figure to 88PS. 

The turbo-petrol is likely to remain exclusive for the N Line variants, which is expected to get a facelift soon.  

Rivals

The Hyundai i20 continues to rival the likes of the Tata Altroz, Maruti Baleno and Toyota Glanza.
