Hyundai i20 auto sheds Rs 2.50 lakh

×

The new i20 offers plenty of additional benefits to its buyers. From a price drop of Rs 2.5 lakh, up to 3 kmph increase in mileage, a new CVT in place of the old torque converter, the brilliance of 1.2 Kappa engine and better driving experience, it ticks all the boxes for a premium hatchback.

New i20

Hyundai has been offering an automatic i20 since long. What is new is that it gets a modern continuously variable transmission (CVT) automatic transmission. The new i20 offers you a practical package without compromising on power or performance.

Fully European

The cars built for the European markets are advanced in all aspects, especially in quality and practicality. Not all cars that are sold in India have European standards. But i20 has been fully designed and produced in Germany for European markets. The i20 that was launched in 2008 came to India in 2011 with minor modifications. It later came to be considered as the benchmark for premium hatchbacks in India.

10 lakh i20s

In 10 years, 10 lakhs i20 have been sold. One can understand the popularity of the vehicle in India from the fact that before a year of its launch, one lakh i20s were sold here. Even today, i20 is the king of the segment.

Premium

i20 is known for its elegant design, premium interiors and engaging drive. It was i20 that brought all these aspects into a hatchback and created a premium hatchback segment.
