New i20 attracts with elegant and sporty design

DISCOVER HYUNDAI i20

​It’s rude to stare, or so they say.

The new Hyundai i20 may just let you off the hook.

With its refreshed design, and vibrant new bold colour combinations, it will certainly stand out from the crowd when it arrives, offering elegance with a unique sporty vibe.

The i20’s design has earned its praise with emotional and dynamic styling that harmonises proportion, architecture, styling, and technology on both its exterior and interior, whilst the car’s safety package and best-in-class connectivity features belong to the most comprehensive in its class.

At a time when saving money is at the forefront of our minds, the new i20 has been designed to retain its sporty stance with its low-profile roof and long wheelbase, thus enhancing the vehicle’s aerodynamics by lowering air resistance, which improves handling and heightens fuel efficiency.

The new i20’s 1.0 T-GDi engine – available with 100 PS or 120 PS is designed for maximum efficiency and performance and is available with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (7DCT) or a six-speed Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT), providing a smooth and responsive driving experience. Upon releasing the accelerator, iMT can decouple the engine from the transmission, effectively saving fuel by allowing the vehicle to enter a coasting mode.

Upon releasing the accelerator, iMT can decouple the engine from the transmission, effectively saving fuel by allowing the vehicle to enter a coasting mode.

The shape and pattern of the front bumper, as well as the radiator grille, have been enhanced to create an elegant look with sporty elements, whilst the rear features a redesigned bumper and a unique taillight design. Newly designed 16 – and 17-inch alloy wheels, add to the new i20’s dramatic re-design.

A dynamic light signature emphasises its overall bold look, punctuated by 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.

This new addition to Hyundai’s line-up is all set to turn heads in a choice of eight exterior colours and an optional black two-tone roof. Three of its 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, and Mangrove Green Pearl.

On the inside, the vibrant new Lucid Lime interior colour package will reinvigorate and brighten passenger’s moods. Outfitted with this package, the seats will also feature a new sporty pattern with a bold vertical line and embossed horizontal dotted lines. The lime-coloured stitching decorates various touchpoints in the interior which underlines the sporty character of the model.

Seamless connectivity to your world remains in the features that were already popular on previous models but have upgraded with a standard 4.2-inch LCD cluster, USB type-C, second generation eCall based on the 4G network, and Over-the-Air (OTA) map updates.

More Hyundai Smart Sense safety features now come as standard. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) for ‘City’, ‘Interurban’, and ‘Pedestrian’ now includes ‘Cyclist’. FCA helps detect and avoid potential accidents with obstacles ahead, whilst 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 (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 vehicles navigation system to anticipate curves or straights on motorways and adjusts the speed for safer driving.

The new i20 will also be available with a BOSE® Premium Sound System.

With UK specification and pricing yet to be confirmed, this is your chance to really get excited in anticipation of the all-new Hyundai i20, with production scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2023 at Hyundai’s manufacturing plant in Izmit, Turkey.
