Hyundai Elite i20

At the end of the lifecycle it was available in three variants: Magna+, Sportz+ and Asta (O).
It was priced between Rs 6.56 lakh and Rs 8.32 lakh (ex-showroom).
Hyundai introduced the ‘Elite’ tag with the second-gen i20 and has now dropped it for the upcoming third-gen model.
In the BS4 era, the Elite i20 came with a 1.4-litre diesel engine (90PS/220Nm).

Hyundai is readying to launch the third-gen i20 on November 5 and is accepting official pre-launch bookings for Rs 21,000. This has also seen the carmaker discontinue the second-gen model. When the BS6 norms kicked in in April 2020, the carmaker had axed the diesel variants of the discontinued hatchback, leaving it only with a petrol engine till now. Hyundai introduced the ‘Elite’ tag with the second-gen model and has now removed the same with the upcoming third-gen model.
