However, the images has been leaked ahead of the unveil and we have to say that it actually looks similar to the design sketches which were revealed a year ago. It has been in the current generation for a quite a while now and was in a need of the serious upgrade. As we head towards explaining the details of the upcoming 2020 Hyundai i20, continue reading the blog below.

 Design

At first glance we must say that the front look is almost 90% of the design sketch. The front looks more aggressive than before. The grille somewhat reminds of recently launched Hyundai Aura. The headlights looks aggressive and neatly lay outed with those L-shaped DRLs. From side it has retained the character look of the current i20, one can easily identify it as a i20 from the side view. It gets the long chrome strip, which covers most of the window portion. The rear window is looking big, so it will have more visibility at the rear and will feel more airy and spacious from inside. The new design of the dual tone alloy wheels also looks quite attractive.

The rear is what most people will love. It  looks very sporty and aggressive compared to the rivals. The Z-shaped LED taillamps and the LED-like strip joining the taillamps looks pretty nice. It gets the piano black finish on the upper half of the boot lid similar to what we have seen on the recently launched Tata Altroz.

The engine options includes 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol.
