i20 surely has the performance to match its really sporty and chiselled look.Couldn't agree more.This one is surely worth the wait.

Wow. 1.6 petrol 130bhp. Thats going to be a stunner for the petrol version. Car looks really good.
Pricing should be a little more expensive than the outgoing getz.

It looks stunning ... worth the wait.
I am not going to drive my car more than 10Km a day but I like the turbo rush of diesel cars. Lets wait and watch the pricing of CRDi motor i20.

Wow! looks good to me. I wish they do not go the Fabia way in pricing.

If they get the pricing right, they will find a buyer in me too.

Haha -I find this amusing (and satisfying!): I took the dimensions of i10 and i30, and averaged them out to get an idea of where i20 would be positioned. This was important for me because I was convincing myself NOT to buy the Fabia/Swift and wait for i20 because it would be equally good, or better in terms of everything, especially interiors space. So now that we know that the i20 has a wheelbase of 2525 mm, its actually pretty close: The avg of wheelbases of i10 and i30 is 2490.
So in terms of averages (of i10 and i30), the dimensions of i20 should be approximately: L 3905, W 1680, H 1510, W 2490.

I don't want to sound speculative - its just an indication of size of the car to be expected.

Looks Stunner in that Grey colour!

If priced right (just above the Getz) would be a complete practical commuter with good space and decent performance.

Hope hyundai people will release 126PS 1.6-liter diesel engine in i20 as an option with 1.4-liter diesel engine which i doubt will happen.

If released 1.6 diesel will be the first one to book.

Unlikely, since even the Verna only has the 1.4 L Crdi churning 110 BHP.

Great pics. Now we know how ACI got the i20 scoop.

The 3rd pic has the Pizza Hut signboard. And the place looks like Pondicherry!!

Pics from India. Displayed around the world !!!

The first two pics were taken off the East Coast Road in one of the beaches that dot the coastline. I saw a camoflagued test car on the NH-4 service road and a few cars, similar to the one on page3 parked in the Hyundai factory entrance, while driving to the MMSC track last Sunday. I wanted to stop and take a pic, but there were quite a few security guys there.
