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.
