The European market Hyundai i20 has received some minor improvements under the hood as well as to the aerodynamics and the interior of the car. Hyundai started by adding a small spoiler to the underneath of the vehicle to improve airflow around the wheels, while all i20s now use low friction engine oil and an alternator management system.
These changes help the best-selling 1.2-litre petrol engine reduce its CO2 emissions by 5g/km to 119g/km, while the 1.4-liter petrol model sees a 13g/km drop to 129g/km as well as a 4.3mpg UK improvement in fuel consumption.
As for the diesel engines, CO2 emissions on the 75HP model drop by 6g/km to 110g/km. Thanks to the introduction of a new 6-speed gearbox, the 90HP version achieves a 7.2% improvement in fuel economy.
Hyundai also made a few minor changes to the interior. Along with the addition of an 'Eco Drive' indicator that suggests the best time to change gear, the dashboard and instrument illumination is now blue instead of red, while Bluetooth phone connectivity with voice recognition is now added as standard on all models except the entry-level Classic.
The South Korean supermini is available to order now, with prices in the UK starting from £9,520.

Chevy (or GM rather) steering wheel ripoff.
1ST Anon......nw dont u feel foolish saying such a thing?.....
@annon 1 Remeber Chevrolet rebadges like the Daewon Lacetti/Optra and the Izusu Captiva ,Honda-esque Steering wheel for me ... but for me price this in the range wedged inbetween the VIOS and the Corolla Altis 1.6G and couple it with a 5-6Spd M/t Diesel that'll tip the scale a bit because the i30 is a bit pricey for our market
@1st Anon, dude you're just ridiculous ahahah
^.... Chevy/GM/Ford/Etc. re-badge, but it is usually 100% their design.
Steering wheel does look a bit like a Civic.
The design of I20 is similar to the older models of the Hyundai. We can find some improvement in the engine and interiors. As in whole a good vehicle.
the i20 would be a good car in the usa to me. 2011 hyundai excel ?? keep it priced under 11000 with auto and AC power windows/locks ,i bet they would fly off the dealer lots
Hyundai i20 is sharp and stylish on
the outside with a deceptively spacious interior on the inside and
powered by a 1.2 or 1.4 ltr petrol engine, both of which
comply with Euro IV emissions regulations.
