The new Hyundai i20 is bigger than the current model and more fuel efficient with more powerful petrol engines.

The new generation Hyundai i20 was launched at the recent Paris Motor Show and we can expect to see the car in Ireland, early in 2015. The new car is longer, lower and wider than the previous model. The wheelbase of the new car has been extended by 45mm to give more interior space.
The new car will be available with front and rear parking assist, heated steering wheel, static bending headlamps and automatic defog system. A lane departure warning system will be available.
The new i20 will be available with a choice of three Hyundai Kappa petrol and two diesel engines, carried over the current models. There will be a new 120bhp 1.0-litre T-GDI downsized and turbocharged petrol engine which Hyundai claims offers better performance, driving pleasure and efficiency.

Hyundai claims that the extensive use of lightweight high-strength steel in the platform and bodyshell has yielded a reduction in core weight of the vehicle. Even though the exterior dimensions grew, the new generation i20 is still among the lightest vehicles in the segment. Hyundai says that a significant improvement in torsional rigidity, reducing vibrations when on the move and aiding handling performance are achieved with the new car.
