Hyundai i20 Design Upgrades:

The i20 facelift is exclusively equipped with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. The updates focus on the soft plastic elements, with the front grille showcasing a new design and a prominent black surround connecting it to the headlamps. The headlamps are now full LED units on the top-spec trim. The Hyundai logo has been repositioned, and the front bumper features prominent arrow-shaped inlets. The profile remains largely unchanged, with redesigned 16-inch alloys. At the rear, a revised bumper and dual-tone finish provide a fresh look.
The new Amazon Grey paint shade joins the existing range of color options.
Enhanced Interior and Features:
While the interior design remains consistent, a new dual-tone black and grey finish has been introduced for the dashboard and semi-leatherette seat upholstery on the top-spec trim. Notable features include ambient lighting, leatherette padding on door armrests, puddle lamps with a welcome function, and Hyundai’s ‘Sounds of Nature’ feature. The i20 facelift retains its 10.25-inch touchscreen, all-digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bose sound system, wireless phone charger, sunroof, and climate control.
Safety and Warranty:
Standard safety features encompass six airbags, ABS, EBD, ESC, hill assist control, three-point seatbelts, and seatbelt reminders for all seats. The i20 facelift comes with a three-year/1,00,000km warranty, with the option of an extended warranty.
Hyundai i20 Engine Specifications:
The i20 facelift exclusively offers a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a CVT transmission. It delivers 83hp (MT) or 88hp (CVT), and 115Nm of peak torque.
Please note that the previous 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine has been discontinued in the regular i20. It will make a return exclusively in the i20 N Line facelift, reserved for the performance-oriented model.
