Hyundai i20 - Romancing the road!!!
The Hyundai i20 follows the resounding success of the i10 on Indian terrain. The car was first revealed at the Paris Motor Show in October 2008. Launched in India in December 2008, the car is poised to pip the Suzuki Swift Zxi and Skoda Fabia to the post. It will sport a 1.4-litre petrol Kappa engine and will be manufactured at Hyundai’s Chennai plant. The car is expected to be retailed at 260 locations all over India.
Before the car was launched in India it was exported to Europe in November 2008. Hyundai plans to replace the Getz with the i20 but has no phase out plans for India.
The car runs on petrol and the makers have no plans to roll out a diesel model. The i20 is a compact car par excellence and is a landmark in styling, features and safety. Designed to meet high quality global standards, the five-door i20 offers a large interior cabin and stylish exteriors. Additionally, the car features AC/heating, tilt & telescopic steering, 60:40 split folding rear seats, dual tone beige interiors, 2 DIN CD + MP3 Music System, front and rear power windows. A refrigerated glove box and a multi information display and tachometer, add to the comfort of the car.
The top end model has fully automatic A/C, leather wrapped steering wheel and TGS knob, steering mounted audio control, foldable key with keyless entry function, alloy wheels, height-adjustable driver seat, electrically foldable and adjustable outside mirrors and six category first airbags.
The Hyundai i20 is designed for car lovers and will be available in three variants Magna, Asta and Asta (O). The new Hyundai i20 arrives with a choice of seven new and metallic exterior shades.
The Hyundai i20 is expected to hit the Indian market with a vengeance, despite the global downturn and discerning customers are waiting to ride it into the horizon
