The Hyundai i20 is a supermini hatchback produced by Hyundai since 2008. The i20 made its debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 2008, and sits between the i10 and i30. The i20 replaces the Getz in nearly all of its markets, while several markets received the slightly larger Accent/Verna hatchback to replace it instead.

Successor

The Hyundai i20 uses a completely new platform that was created at Hyundai's European technical centre in Rüsselsheim to allow Hyundai to move into Europe's highly competitive subcompact B segment. A 2,525 mm (99.4 in) wheelbase helps endow the i20 with a generous passenger cabin. Suspension follows the supermini norm of MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam rear end, with rack and pinion steering.

A slightly upgraded version of the i20, called the iGen i20, went on sale in India in March 2012 onward with tweaked headlamps, new front grille, tail lamps and fog lamps. It follows the "Fluidic Sculpture" design philosophy with slightly retuned engines. A new next generation model, known as Elite i20 in India, was launched in India on 11 August 2014 and in Europe in the 2014 Paris Motor Show.[7][8]

The i20 was not sold in South Korea, North America and the Philippines as those markets have the Accent. The i20 was discontinued in the Indonesian market in 2012 due to the introduction of the Accent hatchback, which is known there as the Grand Avega.[9]

The i20 was produced in Sriperumbudur (near Chennai), India for sale in Asia[10] and Oceania,[11] and later was also assembled in Turkey (İzmit plant) for the European market by CKD kits from India.[12]

Engines

edit

The i20 has a total of seven four cylinder engine options. Four are petrol, including the 1248 cc dohc 16 valve "Aditeya" engine,[clarification needed] while the rest are diesel engines. Two of the diesel engines are 1396 cc units, one with 75 PS (55 kW; 74 hp) and 220 N⋅m (160 lb⋅ft) and the other a 90 PS (66 kW; 89 hp) and 220 N⋅m (160 lb⋅ft) high power unit.

They are joined by two 1582 cc engines having the same dohc and 16 valve top end architecture, but delivering either 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) and 156 N⋅m (115 lb⋅ft) of torque or 128 PS (94 kW; 126 hp) and 157 N⋅m (116 lb⋅ft) of torque.

Hyundai claims that the 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) diesel unit can return a class leading 115g/km of CO2 per litre of diesel to go 23.25 km/L (65.7 mpg‑imp; 54.7 mpg‑US) (4.3L/100 km) in the European combined driving cycle.[citation needed] All diesel engines and 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre petrol engines come mated to five speed manual transmission, there is an option of a four speed automatic for some 1.4-litre petrol engined models, the 1.6-litre is mated to a six speed manual transmission.

In the Indian market, the Hyundai i20 is powered by a 1.2-litre Kappa engine with 80 PS (59 kW; 79 hp) power at 5200 rpm and 114 N⋅m (84 lb⋅ft) torque at 4,000 rpm. It also comes with a 1.4-litre gamma gasoline which has 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) power at 5500 rpm and 139 N⋅m (103 lb⋅ft) torque at 4200 rpm, but is mated only to a four speed automatic transmission. The i20 CRDi diesel has 90 PS (66 kW; 89 hp) at 4000 rpm and 224 N⋅m (165 lb⋅ft) torque between 1750 and 2750 rpm, and comes with a six speed manual transmission.[13]

In Australia, the i20 was originally offered as a 1.4 petrol with a $3500 option of the Gamma II G4FC 1.6 petrol engine. The 1.6 makes 91 kW at 6300rpm and 157Nm at 4200rpm. However, with the arrival of the new 1.6 powered Accent in the end of 2011, the 1.6L option on the i20 has been dropped.

In South Africa, the i20 was originally offered in 2009 with either 1.4 (G4FA) or 1.6 (G4FC) engines, with the 1.4 having an optional 4 speed automatic transmission. The facelift model was introduced in the second half of 2012[14] with only the 1.4 gamma engine initially being offered (the 1.6 engine was discontinued), after which a 1.2 kappa engine, a 1.4 CRDi engine as well as a new 6 speed manual transmission for some 1.4 models was added to the range.[15]

The Hyundai i20 earned a maximum five star safety rating from Euro NCAP[17] and scored six out of a maximum of seven points in the "safety assist" category, receiving top marks for its belt reminder and electronic stability programme which minimises the risk of skidding by braking individual wheels.[18] The i20 was named one of Euro NCAP's "top five safest cars for 2009", which was based on Euro NCAP's maximum five star awards and their overall score.[19]

The Hyundai i20 features starts with six airbags—for driver and passenger in the front along with side and curtain airbags for rear passengers, whilst the Antilock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) which helps to control in slippery surfaces.

Hyundai i20 has new additions in its safety features like rain sensing wipers and automatic darkness sensing headlamps, central locking, impact sensing auto door unlock, keyless entry along with front and rear fog lamps and advanced engine immobilizer.

Despite the high safety rating from NCAP and ANCAP tests the i20 has performed poorly in real world crash data records. Monash University Used Car Safety Ratings Buyer's Guide, which researched over 8 million crashes showed the Hyundai Accent i20 2010–2015 to have a 2 star driver protection rating. [1]

It was launched in August 2014 in India,[22] and in November 2014 in Europe.[23] The design of the car employs Hyundai's 'Fluidic Sculpture 2.0' design philosophy.[24] The design for the car has been developed at Hyundai's design facilities in Rüsselsheim, Germany.

Some of the design features of the new i20 include trapezoidal fog lamps, black C pillar block, wrap around tail lamps, re worked headlights and the hexagonal front grille. The interiors feature a black and beige dual tone dashboard, multi-steering-mounted audio controls, Bluetooth integrated 2 DIN audio with USB and Aux inputs with 1 GB internal storage, rear AC vents, a dedicated engine start/stop button, and automatic temperature control.[25] The i20 5-door was initially designed with boomerang-shaped tail lights (as visible on spyshots), but the whole rear part of the vehicle has been redesigned before launch.[26]

India (Elite i20; IB)

edit

The second generation i20 was launched in August 2014 in India as the Elite i20. It eventually won the 2015 Indian Car Of The Year (ICOTY) in December 2014.[27] At launch, ten variants and two engine options are offered in the market. The car also has a higher ground clearance than before, 170 mm as against 165 mm of the old i20. The i20 has 326 litres of boot space.

The i20 is powered by 1.2-litre Kappa Dual VTVT petrol engine and 1.4-litre U2 CRDi diesel engine.[28] The hatchback has safety features such as ABS, dual front airbags and seat belt pretensioners as standard while rear camera with EOM display, headlamp escort function, reverse parking sensors and six airbags are available in higher variants.[29]

Facelift

The third-generation i20 was unveiled online for the European market on 19 February 2020. It was supposed to debut at the 90th Geneva Motor Show in March 2020, but the show and the launch were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The third generation i20 is larger and lower than the previous generation, its design is now employs Hyundai's latest "Sensuous Sportiness" design philosophy, featuring a redesigned exterior and interior styling.

Markets

edit

Europe (BC3)

edit

After its debut in February 2020, production for the European market commenced in the Izmit plant in Turkey in August 2020.[33] The plant will produce around 85,000 units of i20 per year, covering about 50% of the global i20 production.[34]

The top spec is equipped with two 10.25-inch displays, one for the instrument gauge cluster and one for the main infotainment display.[35] It is also available with an N Line trim and N performance-oriented variant.

The 1.0L GDI comes with a 48V mild hybrid system, which helps decrease fuel consumption by 3-4%.[36]

In 2021, Hyundai launched the France-only i20 N Line Michel Vaillant limited edition, featuring optional blue and red stickers.[37]

Facelift
edit

The facelifted i20 was revealed on 10 May 2023.[38]

The mild hybrid is discontinued for the facelift in the UK, remaining available in other markets.[39]

India (BI3)

edit

The third-generation i20 was launched in the country on 5 November 2020. It dropped the "Elite" prefix from the previous generation, now simply marketed as the "Hyundai i20". The Indian-market i20, codenamed BI3, is 45 mm (1.8 in) shorter than the European version to circumvent the Indian tax bracket which favours vehicles shorter than 4,000 mm (157.5 in), while it is 25 mm (1.0 in) wider and 55 mm (2.2 in) taller.[40] It is built on the Hyundai-Kia K2 platform shared with other Hyundai-Kia recent compact cars. It is claimed to make use of 66 percent high-strength steel which improves its crash safety.[41]

On 24 August 2021, Hyundai introduced the N Line variant for the BI3 i20.[42][43]

Facelift
edit

The facelift i20 was launched on 8 September 2023.[44]

Safety

edit

India

edit

The i20 is sold in India with two frontal airbags, antilock brakes, front seatbelt reminders and ISOFIX anchorages standard across the range. Electronic stability control, a tyre pressure monitor, front-seat side thorax airbags and head-protecting curtain airbags are optional on the regular i20 and standard on the i20 N.[45]

The i20 was tested by Global NCAP in the first half of 2022.[46] In the frontal offset crash test into a deformable barrier at 64 km/h, dummy readings showed only adequate protection of the driver's head. The i20 was penalised for unstable structural performance of the passenger compartment and rupture of the driver's footwell, both of which indicate poor integrity of the recorded structural performance. Dummy readings of moderate chest compression and the unstable passenger compartment led to chest protection being rated weak, consequently the i20 could not score points for seatbelt reminders.[47] Structures behind the dashboard could increase risk of knee injury to differently sized or positioned occupants; the unstable passenger compartment and ruptured footwell meant Hyundai were not allowed to demonstrate otherwise.[48] Using the child seats recommended by Hyundai, dynamic performance of the 3 year-old and 18 month-old child occupants was good, but readings of excessive neck tension in the forward-facing three-year old dummy meant that the i20 narrowly missed a four star rating for child occupant protection.

Euro NCAP

edit

The i20 in its standard European market configuration received 4 stars from Euro NCAP in 2021, with test results inherited from the Bayon.[49][clarification needed]

i20 N

edit

A performance version called the i20 N was revealed for the European market in October 2020.[50] It slots under the i30 N in the Hyundai N family.

The i20 N is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged GDi engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. This engine has 201 hp (204 PS; 150 kW) and 275 N⋅m (28.0 kg⋅m; 203 lb⋅ft) of torque. As the i20 N only weighs 1,190 kg (2,620 lb), it is able to accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in a 6.2 seconds with a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph).[51]

Its engine delivers peak torque between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm and hits peak power between 5,500 and 6,000 rpm. The broad power band helps its acceleration performance throughout the mid and high-speed range. Although the Gamma engine is featured in other Hyundai models, for the i20 N it is equipped with a bespoke turbocharger and intercooler system.

Changes also include a reinforced the chassis at 12 different points, and a reinforced front domes and knuckles with distinct geometry for the suspension. The camber has also been increased while a new sway bar, new springs, and new shock absorbers have been fitted. The brakes have also been enlarged.

Production of the i20 N has ceased for the European market starting from February 2024, and Hyundai N will only offer electric models in the region.[52] Despite its discontinuation in Europe, the facelifted model of the i20 N is being prepared for export to the Australian market.[53]
