Hyundai Motors has launched its highly-anticipated premium hatchback – The Elite i20 staring at Rs 4.89 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi) for the global market. The new i20 comes equipped in both a 1.4-litre U2 CRDi (diesel) and a 1.2-litre Kappa2 (petrol) engine, producing 90 PS and 81 PS respectively. Both the power-mills are mated to a five-speed manual transmission, which has been retained from the Elite’s predecessor. Hyundai are offering the new i20 Elite in four trims – Era, Magna, Sportz and Asta.
The Elite i20 is one-looker, thanks to Hyundai’s Fluidic design philosophy. The refreshed premium hatch looks pretty distinctive and sports the design DNA of its siblings the Grand i10 and Xcent. One of the most significant change on the Elite i20 is its long wheelbase which translates into a spacious interior.
The refreshed design philosophy has also been carried on the inside also with the two-tone dash and the well laid-out centre console. The new i20 is also not short on the technological front, automatic headlamps, auto-folding mirrors, rear-parking camera with sensor and a host of other features.
Hyundai has certainly spruced up the market with the Elite i20’s launch in an otherwise highly-competitive premium hatchback segment of India.
