It seems Hyundai is in a hurry to introduce the all-new i20. And why not! This year’s Diwali is just over two weeks away. After revealing what all goes into making the hatchback in question, the company has now confirmed a few more details. Hyundai has started accepting online bookings for the new i20 from today. Those interested can do so by paying a minimum token amount of Rs 21,000. As for the launch date, that’s November 5, 2020.

And, yes. What you see here is the India-spec i20. The design is busy and far from conservative. But then, Hyundai has seldom played safe when it comes to looks. The images reveal some key elements, including projector-type headlamps and fog lamps, a grille with massive teeth, LED DRLs, 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, LED-powered tail lamps and a faux diffuser. The list of confirmed features also includes a powered sunroof, Hyundai’s new-gen steering wheel, an instrument cluster with a colour display and a touchscreen infotainment system with Blue Link technology.

The new i20 is available in four trim levels – Magna, Sportz, Asta and Asta (O). The variants will comprise of petrol, diesel and turbo-petrol engines and iMT (intelligent Manual Transmission), IVT (Intelligent Variable Transmission), 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) and manual gearboxes. In all probability, the range will start with a 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine producing 82bhp/114Nm and mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol motor, good for 118bhp/172Nm, will be available with a 6-speed manual, a 7-speed DCT and iMT. As for the diesel engine, which is likely to be the 1.5-litre motor with 99bhp/240Nm on tap, will come coupled to a 6-speed manual unit. No points for guessing, those powertrains come from the Venue.

Colours? There are six monotone and two dual-tone options. Falling the former category are white, silver, grey, red, copper and “Starry Night”. The latter one consists of a white body with black top and red with a black roof.
