Hyundai has launched the refreshed version of the i20 premium hatchback in India at a starting price of Rs 4.73 lakh (petrol variant) and Rs 5.96 lakh (diesel).

The ‘iGen i20’ is available in 12 variants and sports a more powerful (84 PS) 1.2 litre Kappa petrol engine and the same 1.4 U2 CRDi diesel engine available previously. New features include a rear parking camera, auto headlight control and rain-sensing wipers.

Mr B.S. Seo, Managing Director and CEO, Hyundai Motor India, said: “Our extensive surveys indicated that the customer is seeking hi-tech and innovative features. We have incorporated the research findings in the iGen i20 to offer a high value proposition.”

Many of the features on offer in the new i20 are new to the segment, such as rear disc brakes, anti-glare rear-view mirror and reverse parking sensors. Other premium features are push button start, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob, apart from USB-enabled audio and steering-mounted audio and bluetooth controls.
