The 2015 Hyundai i20 might be launched sometime in between the months of September and October this year. Industry whispers suggest that the Indian market will be one of the first markets for the all-new Hyundai i20. It has been codenamed as the “IB” within Hyundai circles.

The 2015 Hyundai i20 will carry significant changes on its exterior as compared to the outgoing model. The front and the rear portions will be completely redone to lend the car an unrecognisable look. In addition, the new i20 will possess fresh designs for the headlamps as well as the tail-lamps. The engine grille and the rear tailgate will be newer ones, too. Hyundai’s designers have ensured that the new i20 stays under the length limit of 4 meters, in order to avail excise benefits.

Mechanically, things are expected to be carried over from the current Hyundai i20. Petrol options include a 1.2 Liter powerplant as well as a 1.4 Liter powerplant. While the 1.2 Liter engine comes with a 5-Speed manual gearbox, the 1.4 Liter engine is equipped to a 4-Speed automatic gearbox. O the diesel front, there is the sole option of a 1.4 Liter engine mated to a 6-Speed manual transmission.

We expect the feature-rich, premium 2015 Hyundai i20 to cost in the region of INR 5-8 lakhs. Stay with us for more updates.
