MuzzledMoose · 7th September 2008, 10:14

It was given in yesterday's times of india chennai edition about hyundai going to launch the i20. Seems this month end this car will come out for the world market first. Indian version will be late by another 3 months its given

New Verna?!!! OMG.. Why is Hyundai changing a model way too often?? Earlier it was the Santro and now then Verna.

Wow, that's a big scoop. The car looks great unlike i10. I have put up the pictures here. Credit goes to Autocar India.

looks good. If only Hyundai India price it right - imagine - a CRDi i20 with airbags, ABS and climate control at 700,000 on road - you are looking at a best seller.

I like the rear!! front loks quite weird!! But i series range does look good!!! Notice the 1.6 badge in the rear. Is it the petrol verna engine??

Fountainheader · 15th September 2008, 23:05

Awesome!! One of the best looking cars in the hatch segment.

Love it except for the rear wiper. The Zxi/Fabia have sexy rear wipers.

New Verna looks more like a 2-door hatchback. Can someone shed more light on this and if possible few pics on the same.

ahuja365 · 15th September 2008, 23:51

This looks like a winner but i hope we get automatic transmission as an option and would love it in grey or black interiors instead of unusable beige.

This one is a real looker.Has a purposeful stance to it.

SkyWalker · 16th September 2008, 09:18

Looks good. thank god it did not carry forward the tinny look of i10. Would a diesel with an auto tranny too much to ask for 7L?

Even if people say look is subjective, I still think that Indica V2/Vista, Spark, Srv, etc are some of the best looking hatches on our roads if I judge without any prejudice. I will not make my list of ugly ones as it may offend people

esteem_lover · 16th September 2008, 10:59

Certainly one of the more prettier cars made by Hyundai. Miles ahead of their santro/elantra/i 10 image.

MuzzledMoose · 16th September 2008, 12:46

He He He finally hyundai understands the mantra of looking good. With the current line-up all hyundai cars are ugly ducklings :P

deepakhon · 16th September 2008, 13:08

I have to give it to Hyundai on this one. They seem to have found a good design theme starting from their i series. I really love their i30 design. I hope they bring the i30 to India too as a hatch.

i20 seems like a good car. Let us see what the initial reviews say.
