New images reveal a sleek interior design
The all-new Hyundai i20 features a sleek interior design, including a high dashboard and built-in ambient lighting, giving the cockpit an airy feeling. One of the most striking features is the new horizontal blades stretching high across the dashboard.
A series of new pictures is showing more details of the all-new i20’s interior. Two wide screens, a 10.25-inch digital cluster and a 10.25-inch centre touchscreen, create a digital landscape surrounding the driver. High-end connectivity and audio features are available, including a wireless charging pad and the Bose Premium audio system with eight speakers including a subwoofer.
A new engine line-up provides enhanced efficiency and performance
By offering two engines with three transmission choices, the all-new i20 caters for different drivers’ needs and delivers even more efficient driving.
At the top of the range, a 1.0 T-GDi is available with 100 PS or 120 PS. For the first time, a 48-volt mild hybrid powertrain can be applied on this engine, either as an option with the 100 PS or as standard with the 120 PS. The 48-volt system contributes to a 3-4% reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. In terms of transmission, the 48-volt system is available with a seven-speed dual clutch transmission (7DCT) or a newly developed six-speed Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT). iMT decouples the engine from the transmission after the driver releases the accelerator, allowing the car to enter into coasting mode and saving fuel.
When not mated to the 48-volt mild hybrid system, the 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS is available with the 7DCT or a manual 6-speed gearbox. A 1.2-litre MPi 4-cylinder is also available as an entry engine. This offers 84 PS and a five-speed manual transmission.
The most comprehensive safety package in the segment
The all-new i20 is equipped with Hyundai SmartSense safety features and complies with the highest European safety standards. Many of these active safety features would not be expected to be found in B-segment cars.
The all-new i20 offers a range of new safety functions. One of these is Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC), which uses the all-new i20’s navigation system to anticipate upcoming curves or straights on highways and adjusts the vehicle speed for safer driving. Another feature, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA), alerts drivers through audio and visual warnings when they are driving too fast and exceed the speed limit. When combined with the manual speed limiter, ISLA can even adapt the speed autonomously. Lane Following Assist (LFA) automatically adjusts steering to help keep the all-new i20 centred in its lane of travel. Blind-spot Collision-avoidance Assist Warning (BCA) uses radar to monitor rear corners and, if another vehicle is detected, a visual alert appears on the exterior mirrors. Where necessary, BCA acts on the engine brake to avoid a collision or reduce the impact damage. Meanwhile, the upgraded Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) function can now detect not only cars, but also pedestrians and cyclists.
The all-new i20’s safety package also protects drivers at low speeds, as well as offering increased parking convenience. Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LDVA) warns the driver when the vehicle ahead of them starts moving forward in cases where there is a delay to their reaction, for example at traffic lights. Rear Cross-traffic Collision Assist (RCCA) sounds a warning in case of the risk of a rear collision from crossing vehicles while reversing. Meanwhile, Parking Collision-avoidance Assist - Reverse (PCA-R) automatically brakes in case of a collision risk. In addition, all-new i20 drivers also have Parking Assist (PA) at their disposal. PA allows for semi-autonomous parking, with a range of sensors and software working together to help drivers get into tight spaces.
Other safety features available with the all-new i20 include Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Driver Attention Warni...
