No conclusive news as of now
Any news about elite i20 getting daytime running lamps
Till when Hyundai is going to offer plain 1.2 petrol for i20s? Thia engine is not at all suitable for this class. Its must either be replaced by 1.4 which is unlikely due to excise tax benefits or should be supercharged like Polo TSI or even Tata zest.
I feel, most likely this is gonna be the Euro spec’ model with the addition of side cladding and increased suspension height for a higher premium…nothing extra. Wonder if we get the DTE/average with this model atleast.
