It’s been only a little over a year since the i20 got a mild makeover. While in India the updates were cosmetic, globally, the new model received updated engines, safety features, and connectivity features. However, between Seoul and Rüsselsheim – home of the European headquarters of Hyundai – the work on the next-gen i20 is already complete, with the new model in its final stages of development. This will be the third-gen model of the premium hatchback since its debut in 2008, which was followed by the second-gen in 2014.

Since its launch, the current-gen i20 has persistently taken step forwards in terms of road presence, practicality and quality – so-much-so that it continues to challenge high-end B-segment cars even in Europe. In India, it’s one of the best-selling premium hatchbacks of all time – taking the fight to the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno.
