Hyundai i20 arrives at a long-awaited arrangement.

Hyundai has been making its i20 compact ever since 2008. Since then, the model has had time to change several generations. The third generation of the version intended for the market of the Old Continent was presented in 2020. According to the manufacturer’s report, last year the hatchback sold 41,919 cars in Europe, which is 28.7% less than the previous year. This year sales I’m optimistic: In the first quarter, dealers sold 11,495 cars in the market, up 10% from January-March 2022.

Engineers have not modified the appearance of Hyundai i20 much. The hatch has more aggressive front and rear bumpers, the radiator grille has remained approximately the same shape, but the “mesh” design has changed. The logo of the Korean brand has been moved from the grille to the bar between the headlights.

The updated Hyundai i20 technology for the European market remains the same. These are “mild hybrid” units, based on a 1.0-liter T-GDi turbo gasoline engine with two power variants – 98 and 118 HP – working in tandem with a 48-volt “electric” system. The engine is connected to seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission or six-speed manual (iMT).
