Today, the Korean manufacturer launched the Active in Mumbai, with introductory ex-showroom prices starting from INR 6.69 lakh for the basic petrol variant, and INR 8.00 lakh for the diesel variant.
The petrol powered version of the Active is available in two variants (Standard and S) while the diesel powered version is available in three variants (Standard, S and top-of-the-line SX).
Variant wise pricing in INR (ex-showroom Mumbai):
| Petrol | Diesel |
| 1.2 : 669,375 | 1.4 : 800,202 |

The Hyundai i20 Active is based on the Elite i20 hatchback. It sports newly designed bumpers, a slightly raised ground clearance (190 mm), faux scruff plates, body cladding all around, new footwear ( 195/55 R16 tires wrapped around a newly designed set of 16 inch alloy wheels.), roof rails, and a stain finished fuel filler cap.
The engines are sourced from the Elite i20, which means the 1.2-litre Kappa2 petrol motor and 1.4-litre CRDi diesel motor find their way under the Active’s hood as well.
The diesel unit (1.4), mated to a six-speed manual transmission, is good for 89 bhp of power and 220 Nm of torque, while the petrol unit (1.2), mated to a five-speed manual transmission, makes 82 bhp of power and 114 Nm of torque.
The Active gets altered gear ratios, with the petrol engine delivering 6% better low-end & mid-range shove, while the diesel now delivers 11% better low-end shove.
Claimed fuel efficiency for the petrol engine is 17.19 kmpl and 21.19 kmpl for the diesel engine – both have taken a minor dip from the Elite i20 due to the mildly altered gear ratios.
Outdoorsy appeal : A roof box (above & below) won’t look out of place on the Active; an aftermarket fitment for now, but Hyundai might offer it in the future as a part of the options list.
