The teaser for the new Hyundai elite i20 commercial showed the car tearing a billboard and making a dramatic entry. The vehicle is performing similarly on the sales front, as 12,000 units of the premium Korean hatchback have already been booked within a span of 15 days. The new Elite i20 is a feature-rich, comfortable hatchback which improves on the qualities of the outgoing model, some of which were already class leading. The new model has been creating quite a buzz in the market and looked like a winner even before its launch. However, this is the first time since Hyundai started operations in India that they have managed to receive such an overwhelming response for a new launch.
