The class-leading small family hatchback

Sporty, elegant and visually stunning, every feature line is confident, every curve and angle is subtly seductive. Simple in its layout with everything you need in easy reach, the clean and modern interior design offers sensory well-being. Inside the i20 each surface has been crafted to look and feel exceptional. Materials have been carefully selected with special attention given to their quality and durability. The all new i20 includes a range of clever features to make your drive as easy and entertaining as possible.

Standout good looks

Compact and graceful, yet bold and confident, the all-new i20 is ready to take on any adventure you throw its way. Revamped to perfection, the iconic front grille makes a statement while the sporty side body moulding gives the i20 an agile, streamlined and aerodynamic look. Privacy glass is also a talking point as are the three attractive wheel options with the Premium SE Nav boasting striking 16-inch alloys.

Advanced technology

As you’d expect from such a forward-thinking runner, advanced technology is part of the Hyundai i20’s DNA. The interior is loaded with mod-cons including a seven-inch touchscreen display with smartphone connectivity, AUX and USB ports allowing you to play your favourite music en route, a full automatic air conditioning system, Bluetooth connectivity and a DAB radio system.

Performance and drive

The Hyundai i20 may be a compact runner but it certainly delivers a big performance. There are many engine options to choose from including the 1.2-litre petrol, the all-new 1.0 litre T-GDi petrol turbo featuring highly efficient combustion, and the 1.0 T-GDi 120PS which delivers effortless power. Manual transmission comes as standard. Select models offer the new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

For increased fuel efficiency, the iMT decouples the engine from the transmission after the accelerator is released. The vehicle goes into coasting mode.
