Premium design that looks like money well spent

The i20 doesn’t scream for attention—it earns it. Sharp lines, LED elements, and a clean silhouette make it look classy without trying too hard. It feels every bit a premium offering, especially in this price segment.

Cabin quality and features that raise the bar

Step inside and you’re met with a dashboard that feels properly upmarket. Soft-touch bits, thoughtful design, and a feature list that includes a sunroof, wireless charger, and a slick infotainment system—Hyundai clearly knows its audience.

Automatic that’s smooth, intuitive, and stress-free

While many entry-level automatics feel jerky or underwhelming, the i20’s IVT is tuned for real-world smoothness. Whether crawling through traffic or cruising on highways, the gearbox remains one of the car’s highlights.

Hyundai’s unmatched after-sales peace of mind

This is where Hyundai really flexes its muscle—its wide network, reliable service quality, and strong resale value make ownership hassle-free. For buyers who want predictability and support, the i20 delivers.

Rear seat comfort that puts rivals to shame

Unlike many hatchbacks that compromise the back row, the i20 surprises with generous legroom, a well-cushioned bench, and rear AC vents. It’s built to keep rear passengers happy—even on longer city commutes.
