The 2020 Hyundai i20 was launched in India yesterday and it seems like, the latest hatch on the block is off to a flying start! The company has revealed that it has received more than 10,000 bookings for the car till date. The company had kick-started bookings for the i20. This could be because of the unreal number of variant on offer. The Hyundai i20 is available in 4 variants – Magna, Sportz, Asta and Asta (O) and in 3 engine options.
More details
Hyundai has priced the car between Rs 6,79,900 – Rs 11,17,900, ex-showroom. These prices seem introductory and could be increased in a month’s time.
There are reports suggesting that more than 20 per cent of the bookings are for the higher-strung turbo petrol engine variants. The arrival of the heavily updated i20 is probably going to shoot the company’s sales figures even further. After more than 12 years though, the Hyundai i20 gets what may be its largest set of most comprehensive updates in terms of looks, engine, features, cabin, space and more.

The new Hyundai i20 shares its engine lineup with the Venue. The 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine will make 83 hp power and 113 Nm torque mated to a 5-speed manual or a CVT.

Engine-wise ARAI certified fuel efficiency figures stand at 21 km/l for the 1.2-litre petrol manual variant going down to 19.65 km/l for the 1.2-litre petrol CVT.
