Scoop! Hyundai i20 1.0L turbo petrol with 7-speed DCT spied

This may not be the i20 N-Line, but it seems to be powered by a 1.0L turbo petrol engine paired with a 7-speed DCT.

As Hyundai prepares to launch the third generation i20 in India, more spy images of the car have emerged. This time, the car being tested is believed to be a turbo petrol version.

On the outside, the test mule looks similar to those seen before. But, a quick glance at the window sticker reveals that the car is powered a 1.0-litre T-GDi turbo petrol engine which is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This engine could also be offered with a 6-speed manual transmission.

In India, the i20 is also likely to be offered with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 1.5-litre diesel with the option of a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Looking at the exterior, this does not seem like the N-Line version, which gets a sporty body kit featuring slightly different front and rear bumpers, dual exhausts and larger alloy wheels.
