Hyundai on Friday teased the all-new i20 facelift version. The teaser mainly showcases the front of the car but there are certain features that are expected from the i20 facelift in order to create dominance in the highly competitive hatchback segment in India. The upcoming Hyundai i20 facelift hatchback is set to receive notable exterior design updates. Spy shots have revealed changes to the front, including a redesigned grille and LED headlight units.

The Hyundai logo will have a new 2D design and will be moved from the grille to the base of the bonnet. While the side and rear profiles will mostly resemble the current model, there will be tweaks to the taillight design and potentially minor updates to the alloy wheels. Rear changes include a more noticeable faux rear diffuser, relocated reflectors, and a rear bumper with a more apparent dual-tone finish.

Hyundai i20 - Interiors

The interior of the upcoming i20 facelift is anticipated to receive several new features. Hyundai might introduce a segment-first dashcam, possibly the same one used in the Exter SUV and an updated digital instrument cluster. Additionally, the i20 may come equipped with an electrically adjustable sunroof, a 360-degree camera, front parking sensors, and a larger touchscreen infotainment system. These additions will complement existing features such as a digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, cruise control, wireless charger and ambient lighting.

Hyundai i20 - Engine

The Hyundai i20 facelift is expected to retain its current engine options. A 1.2-litre petrol engine, producing 82 bhp and 114.7 Nm of torque, or the 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit, offers 118 bhp of power and 172 Nm of torque. Transmission choices include a five-speed manual, an IMT, or a seven-speed DCT gearbox.

Hyundai i20 - Price

The current i20 ranges from Rs 7.46 lakh to Rs 11.88 lakh (ex-showroom), the facelifted version is likely to be priced slightly higher. The i20 has ADAS features in Europe, so there is a possibility that India may get those as well. If that happens, the Hyundai i20 will be the only hatchback in the nation to have ADAS.
