Hyundai Elite i20 Automatic priced at Rs. 9.02 lakh

The Hyundai Elite i20 Automatic is now on sale in India at a price of Rs. 9,01,812 (ex-showroom Delhi). This makes it the costliest variant on offer in the Elite i20 line-up. The AT is being offered only with the mildly loaded petrol Magna trim, but it is still priced more than the top-end Asta (O) Diesel model. Moreover, the price difference between the petrol Magna MT and petrol Magna AT is Rs. 2.84 lakh.

This overboard pricing is a result of the fact that the Elite i20 comes with a bigger engine: a 1.4-litre Dual VTVT four-cylinder petrol that churns out 98 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 132 Nm @ 4,000 rpm. This engine is mated to a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Due to the bigger engine displacement, the Elite i20 AT isn't eligible for the small car excise duty benefit, thus increasing the overall price.

Being available in just the Magna trim, the Elite i20 automatic also misses on features like ABS, side and curtain airbags, reverse parking camera, front fog lamps, auto headlamps, touchscreen infotainment system, smart key, automatic climate control, and alloy wheels.

The Elite i20 automatic will compete against the likes of the Honda Jazz CVT, Maruti Baleno CVT, and Volkswagen Polo GT TSI.
