Hyundai refreshed its supermini contender i20 in 2018, four years after the model introduction on the market.
The increasing market share of the supermini segment made more and more carmakers focus on new products, such as the i20. Its hatchback shape and decent interior volume made these vehicles a better choice for city environments, and they were good enough to carry four adults inside and still fit in tight parking spots.
In 2018, at the Auto Expo India, the Korean carmaker introduced a facelifted version of the i20. At the front, the car featured a new bumper and the Hyundai's signature Cascading Grille. The back of the car was enhanced even further with a new set of taillights and bumper. Starting with the facelifted version, the carmaker introduced the option of a two-tone black roof and a sunroof.
Inside, the i20 offered room for four adults and 326 liters (11.5 cu-ft) of luggage. By folding down the rear seats, that space increases to 1,042 liters (36.8 cu-ft). Hyundai installed a standard 7" display with screen mirroring for the infotainment, with an option for an upgraded system that integrated navigation, media, and connectivity features.
Under the hood, Hyundai installed a choice of gasoline engines ranged between 75 hp and 120 hp paired with a five or six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic (dual-clutch). For selected markets, the carmaker offered the option for a CVT.
