Now with the increasing competition in the Indian automotive industry in each segment, Hyundai is all geared up for the launch of its next-generation Elite i20 somewhere around the mid or late-2020.

The all-new 2020 Elite i20 is not just a mere facelift, rather a complete plastic surgery in itself. It gets an all-new design identity which Hyundai terms as Sensuous Sportiness, and to justify the term the new i20 gets completely redesigned sporty, aerodynamic, and edgy dynamic front profile.
The design language is carried further to the side with an edgy dynamic silhouette. The C-Pillar, unlike the current model which has a gloss or matt texture, the new model gets a fusion of Chrome and Black Gloss elements. Talking about the rear, well that’s the new attention seeker.
